Collection: Emma Gibbons

In the words of Emma Gibbons herself: āI combine paint, ink, glazes, glitter and mixed media to produce curious & joyful pieces of art from my studio on the North Devon Coast.
Born into a family of Cornish pirates and smugglers I developed a passion for treasures & adventures early on in life. True to my pirate roots, I have travelled extensively through Europe, Asia and South America, which bought colour to my work as well as themes of discovery & exploration. I'm colour obsessed, and for me each of my artworks is a little adventure - something for you to explore.Ā
I spent 5 years studying art & illustration in London, producing mixed media artwork, children's books, theatre sets, costumes and miniature sculptures. There I exhibited at the ICA, produced illustrations for the Sherlock HolmesĀ museum and hadĀ artwork published in Time Out Magazine.Ā I then moved on to spend an inspiring 4 years working for Damien Hirst, and itās fair to say his obsession with colour has definitely influenced my work.Ā
I have exhibited extensively in Devon & Cornwall and had several shows in London and further afield. My work has been bought by clients and collectors all over the world, including Dawn French (who I love). Recently, my work has beenĀ featured in Devon Life Magazine, The Artfinder Catalogue andĀ in The Guardian Gift Guide.Ā
I do believe that art should be joyful. Life is full of challenges and I hope my art can bring people aĀ little bit of daily joy. A little bit of happiness, sat on your wall. I hope that it brings a smile."
There is so much exacting handiwork and intricate detail that goes into Emma Gibbons's beautiful and breathtaking artwork. Her pieces are visually seductive, often with eye-popping brands and slogans built in wonderfully bright and vibrant colours. Demand continues to grow for her incredible pill art and popsicle art.
