Jemma Gunning Printmaker
Studio 1, Bristol
# Business Description
Jemma Gunning is a Bristol-based artist and printmaker specialising in limited edition fine art prints that capture the transient beauty of heritage sites and evolving landscapes. Her work documents decay, environmental change, and the passage of time through traditional drawing and etching techniques, creating deeply considered responses to places shaped by human intervention and natural forces.
Her practice centres on themes of loss and endurance, particularly evident in her recent Alpine-inspired series exploring glacial landscapes and climate change. Each print is meticulously crafted using advanced etching methods including hardground, sugarlift aquatint, and open bite, printed on museum-quality papers in carefully controlled editions of 30.
Jemma serves collectors seeking authentic, contemporary fine art with conceptual depth, as well as those drawn to the craftsmanship inherent in traditional printmaking. Her audience appreciates work that addresses environmental and heritage concerns with artistic rigour rather than sentiment.
What distinguishes her is the combination of technical mastery and meaningful subject matter. Rather than producing decorative prints, Jemma creates contemplative artworks that provoke reflection on landscape transformation and temporal change. Her willingness to share knowledge through teaching and workshops further demonstrates her commitment to the medium beyond commercial practice. The specificity of her artistic vision—exploring marginal spaces and industrial heritage through printmaking—positions her distinctly within contemporary fine art rather than commercial illustration.
