She creates painstaking artworks out of miniature hand- crafted components; often involving curious, precious and occasionally contraband materials.Emma has been widely exhibited at galleries across the UK, Europe & the US. Her creations have been exhibited at London’s Institute of Contemporary Art, in The Guardian newspaper and Time Out magazine. She has clients & collectors from all over the world, including Zoe Ball, Danny Dyer & Dawn French.Emma worked for Damien Hirst for a total of 7 years – including the installation and exhibition of his infamous For The Love of God diamond encrusted skull at it’s UK unveiling at White Cube Gallery, London. She also worked as a painter for the Chapman Brothers on their epic installation Fucking Hell.

All GENT London items are bespoke, one-offs and provide a unique canvas onto which artists can shift their medium, breeding new life into classic pieces as wearable pieces of art. GENT London’s attention to detail is a big focus, with all vintage items being upcycled with new adornments such as replacement buckles, updated stitching, and the inclusion of serialised holograms.
