Emma Gibbons

Emma Gibbons’s bold and energetic, mixed-media artworks radiate the energy and joy of popular culture. Known as the ‘glittering queen of Pop Art,’ she draws inspiration from festivals, nightlife, and her personal journey from party life to sobriety. Through her colourful creations, Emma celebrates creativity and transformation, using positivity, nostalgia, and curiosity to provide uplifting, cathartic experiences.

Raised in Cornwall with a family history of pirates and smugglers, Emma developed a love for treasures and the unconventional. This background influences her art, with each piece crafted from miniature handmade components and incorporating curious, precious, and even sometimes contraband materials, evoking playfulness and intrigue in her artwork.

Now based in Devon, Emma’s art combines vibrant colours with themes which explore deeper reflections on consumerism and excess. Her passion for colour and its power to spark joy is at the heart of her artistic practice, with the aim of uplifting spirits and leaving a lasting impression of fun and wonder. From vibrant resin lollipops to glittering pill capsules and framed feel-good slogans, her work is both joyful and thought-provoking, appealing to casual viewers and devoted collectors alike.

Emma’s unique style has earned her a global following, with high-profile clients such as Zoe Ball, Dawn French, Gordon Ramsay, Danny Dyer, and Hollywood icon Margot Robbie, who acquired her famed ‘Bad Barbie’ piece in 2022. Reflecting on this milestone, Emma described it as a career highlight, expressing the joy of seeing her art connect with collectors around the world.
