Francesco Gioacchini is a Berlin-based Italian artist whose research moves between painting, drawing and installation. He graduated in 2011 from the University of Macerata with a master’s degree in Editorial Communication. In 2014, he joined the Summer school in Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, and in 2016, he worked on the installation 'The Floating Piers' by artist Christo (Lake Iseo). In 2018, he graduated in Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata, and part of his thesis, titled 'Glenn Ligon. Border Thoughts', has been published by Arshake in the art text series 'Critical Grounds'. In 2019, after being selected for a residency, Francesco Gioacchini moved to Berlin. In 2021 he was selected for the painting section of the Combat Prize (Livorno), and in the same year he was among the winners of the 'Group exhibition prize' at ReA art fair (Milan).

Between 2022 and 2023, he worked on a mural commissioned by Soho House Berlin, and in 2024 Francesco was one of the artists selected by the Bologna-based collective CHEAP for the open call ‘Fuck War - L’arte (del rifiuto) della guerra’. In 2025 Francesco Gioacchini participated in the Gallery Weekend Berlin with the site-specific installation ‘Aside From Us’, and he was one of the nine finalists of 'Art Matters #15', open call promoted by Galerie Biesenbach (Cologne). At the beginning of 2026 he presented a new body of works at Atterrage Gallery (Milan), for the solo show ‘Prove di Cancellazione’, and he was also part of the collective exhibition ‘Vita minore, San Francesco e la santità dell’arte contemporanea’ curated by Gianni and Giuseppe Garrera (Spoleto).

During the years, Francesco Gioacchini has exhibited his works in Italy, Germany and the UK and he has been published in catalogues, magazines and websites such as Artribune, Exibart, Segno, Lampoon, Artsy, Artland, Arte, Juliet, Sleek Magazine, Vogue, and Arshake among others. His work, through the adoption of a minimal and conceptual painting, along with the exploration of cancellation, deals with the idea of relation between painting and drawing, canvas and image, sign and meaning. Moving from references related to art history, literature and contemporary aesthetic, Francesco Gioacchini pursues a visual research made of contrasts, collisions and overlapping of meanings and media.
