Self-Care Bears (24 Bears)
Size:40 x 40 in.
Emma Gibbons’ original artwork Self-Care Bears (24 Bears) (37" x 37") is a vibrant and playful celebration of nostalgia and indulgence, infused with a deeper commentary on consumer culture. Featuring 24 meticulously crafted resin bears, each uniquely embedded with an explosion of glitter, candy-like embellishments, and dazzling colour combinations, the piece radiates joy and whimsy. The glossy, high-shine finish enhances the illusion of sugar-coated sweetness, inviting viewers to revel in the tactile allure of childhood nostalgia while subtly questioning the nature of desire and excess.
Now based in Devon, Emma is renowned for her bold, uplifting artworks that blend pop art aesthetics with thought-provoking themes. Drawing inspiration from contemporary consumer culture, her work transforms everyday objects—such as sweets, pills, and nostalgic childhood icons—into glittering, three-dimensional compositions that balance playfulness with social commentary.
Her distinctive style has earned her a devoted following, including high-profile collectors such as Margot Robbie, Gordon Ramsay, and Dawn French. With Self-Care Bears, Emma presents a visually stunning yet introspective piece, inviting audiences to reflect on the intersection of happiness, consumption, and the irresistibility of material desires. The artwork serves as both a celebration and critique of the things that bring us comfort in a fast-paced, modern world.
