Emma Gibbons is a mixed-media artist from the South West. She studied art & illustration at the London College of Printing (BA) and Camberwell College of Art (MA)
She creates showstopping artworks out of miniature hand-crafted components, often involving precious and curious materials.
Emma worked for Damien Hirst for a total of 7 years – including the installation and exhibition of his infamous For The Love of God diamond encrusted skull at it’s UK unveiling at White Cube Gallery, London. She also worked as a painter for the Chapman Brothers on their epic installation Fucking Hell.
Emma thinks art should be joyful and bring happiness to your walls. She was born into a family of Cornish pirates and smugglers and therefore developed a taste for treasures and misdemeanours early in life. She craftily creates painstaking artworks out of miniature hand-made components. These pieces of artwork often involving curious, precious and occasionally contraband materials.
Emma has been widely exhibited at Art Fairs including AAF London, New York & Amsterdam. She has been involved in group shows at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art, produced illustrations for the Sherlock Holmes museum and had artwork published in Time Out Magazine. Her work has been bought by clients and collectors all over the world, including Zoe Ball & Dawn French. The Art Agency sold the first Barbie piece we had to Margot Robbie in 2022.
