Melting Happiness (32 Lollies)

Size:40 x 40 in.

Emma Gibbons’ original artwork Melting Happiness (32 Lollies) (37" x 37") is a vibrant and playful exploration of nostalgia, indulgence, and the power of colour. Arranged in a perfect grid, the resin lollies appear almost edible, their glossy surfaces reflecting light in a way that heightens their enticing, sugary appeal. Each piece bursts with bright neon hues, encapsulating a joyful, carefree energy while also subtly nodding to themes of consumerism and excess.

Emma, now based in Devon, has built a reputation for creating striking, thought-provoking pop art that balances bold, uplifting aesthetics with deeper cultural commentary. Fascinated by colour and its psychological impact, she carefully curates her palettes to evoke happiness and wonder, ensuring that each piece leaves a lasting impression.

Her signature creations range from shimmering pill capsules to resin-based sweets, glittering slogans, and mixed-media compositions that celebrate contemporary consumer culture. Her work has gained a dedicated following, with high-profile collectors such as Margot Robbie, Gordon Ramsay, and Dawn French among her admirers.

With Melting Happiness, Emma presents an irresistible vision of indulgence, reminding us of childhood treats while subtly asking us to consider our relationship with material desires and the fleeting nature of pleasure.
