Born in Gibraltar (1954); emigrated to the UK in 1973; founder and director of Fine Rats International, an artist-led company dedicated to the production of innovative art events in urban locations; lives in Newcastle. Francis Gomila has explored video as a sculptural medium throughout a career spanning twenty years. In his words, 'In my view video adequately articulates Duchamp's infra-thin (the space between two sides of a single sheet of paper) enabling a permeable boundary, through which video can become sculpture in its own right.' Time-based installations, photographic and video works have all contributed to an extraordinary body of work comprising multi-media installations and interventions in public places both in the UK and abroad.
