Emma Gibbons
Rather Be In Ibiza
Unique original mixed media

Emma Gibbons' unique original works in mixed media represent the fullest expression of a practice that has always been interested in the gap between aspiration and reality — the distance between where we are and where we would rather be. Rather Be In Ibiza names this gap with characteristic precision: the title is a bumper sticker, a social media post, a universal sentiment that Gibbons takes seriously enough to make into art.

The pharmaceutical visual language she has developed — pills, capsules, blister packs — appears here as a commentary on the culture of escape and the substances that facilitate it. Ibiza is not simply a holiday destination in this context: it is a state of mind, an aspiration, the thing that gets you through the week. Gibbons treats this with neither contempt nor endorsement — simply the clear-eyed observation that has defined her practice.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
