The Story
Size:40 x 40 in.
Emma Gibbons’ Bar Open (37" x 37") is a vibrant, tactile artwork that captures the spirit of celebration, indulgence, and contemporary pop culture. The bold typography, constructed from hundreds of tiny, colourful resin capsules, is both playful and striking. The word "BAR" bursts with a neon-like glow, reminiscent of classic nightlife signage, while "open!" is elegantly crafted in golden embellishments, adding an element of luxury and exclusivity. Gibbons' signature use of unconventional materials enhances the sensory appeal, blurring the lines between art, advertising, and social commentary.
Emma Gibbons, now based in Devon, is renowned for her dazzling, textural artworks that explore themes of consumerism, desire, and excess. Her fascination with colour and its emotional impact is at the heart of her practice, with each piece designed to evoke joy, nostalgia, and curiosity. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, branding, and everyday indulgences, she transforms familiar objects into mesmerising, thought-provoking compositions. With a growing international following, Gibbons’ collectors include celebrities such as Margot Robbie, Gordon Ramsay, and Dawn French. Her work bridges the gap between art and cultural commentary, offering a bold, playful, yet deeply reflective take on contemporary materialism.
