About Me

Gemma Cumming: Gemma Cumming graduated in 2006 from Loughborough University (School of Art and Design) with a BA in Fine Art. Her work deals with notions of anticipation and tourism, utilising tourist imagery to create giant painted postcards with an ominous twist. Centering around notions of failed perfection, her work primarily explores imagery that sells an expectation of a place, not it's reality. Creating tension by replacing the stereotypical blue skies with darker and/or more ominous ones, adding other incongruous objects and highlighting people passivity to their unusual environment the viewer is forced to look again at the scene. She has created place specific paintings for particular exhibitions outside of London including Windsor, Bracknell, Bath and Farnham. She has recently completed a number of ambitious projects including a large scale multi canvas work on London, painting a life size fibreglass adolescent elephant for summer 2010's Elephant Parade London and a fibreglass Orangutan for 2011's Jungle City Edinburgh, both raising funds for the Elephant Family an Asian Elephant Charity. She also creates drawings, prints and new media works on the same themes.
