The Story
Size:25 x 30 in.
Emma Gibbons’ Love at First Bite (22" x 27") is a dazzling, tactile composition that merges indulgence with artistic craftsmanship. This circular arrangement of vibrant, resin-cast confections glistens with an irresistible charm, mimicking a luxurious spread of chocolates and sweets. Each element is infused with Gibbons’ signature playful aesthetic, blending nostalgia, pop culture, and a deeper commentary on consumerism and desire. The work’s symmetrical balance and eye-catching colours create an immediate sense of joy, drawing the viewer into a world of temptation and sensory delight.
Emma Gibbons, now based in Devon, is renowned for her unique take on contemporary pop art. She crafts joyful yet thought-provoking artworks that explore themes of excess, nostalgia, and modern consumer culture. Her use of mixed media, including resin, glitter, and pill-like capsules, gives her work a striking three-dimensional quality that is instantly recognisable.
Her innovative approach has attracted a dedicated global following, including celebrity collectors such as Zoe Ball, Dawn French, Danny Dyer, Gordon Ramsay, and Hollywood superstar Margot Robbie, who famously purchased her Bad Barbie piece in 2022. Gibbons describes her practice as being deeply connected to her audience, responding to the ever-evolving trends of popular culture while injecting her own distinctive vision.
“I’m very much guided by my audience – my work is a constant response to what’s hot and what’s not. It’s pop art in the truest sense; art with popular culture at its core”.
