Size:29 x 29 in.
Emma Gibbons’ Self-Care Bears (26" x 26") is a striking and playful exploration of contemporary consumerism, self-medication, and the allure of excess. This vibrant mixed-media piece presents a collection of resin teddy bear figures, each encased with an assortment of pills and capsules, offering a thought-provoking juxtaposition of childhood nostalgia and adult coping mechanisms. The glossy, candy-like finish and dazzling colours evoke a sense of fun, while the underlying theme challenges our cultural obsession with wellness, pharmaceuticals, and instant gratification.
Now based in Devon, Gibbons is known for her bold, joy-infused artworks that blend pop art aesthetics with deeper social commentary. Her signature use of resin, glitter, and found objects reflects her fascination with colour and its ability to evoke happiness and energy. Her work has gained a global following, with collectors including Zoe Ball, Dawn French, Danny Dyer, Gordon Ramsay, and Hollywood star Margot Robbie.
Gibbons describes her art as "pop art in the truest sense; art with popular culture at its core". Through her unique approach, she continues to spark conversations about materialism, desire, and the pursuit of happiness in the modern world.
