Emma Stibbon
This October, Cristea Roberts Gallery will open Melting Ice | Rising Tides, a solo exhibition by Emma Stibbon, presented to a London audience for the very first time, following its initiation at Towner Eastbourne and tour to the Burton Art Gallery, Bideford.
Monumental watercolours, drawings and a site-specific installation bring us to the frontlines of climate change, connecting vanishing polar ice and surging sea-levels with the alarming rate of erosion taking place on UK coastlines.
For all artwork enquires please contact sales@cristearoberts.com.
Exhibition open until 22 November 2025.

“I feel working from landscape today has never been more pressing. I can see that many glaciated sites I am revisiting are changing beyond recognition. Often when I am out working in the field I have a sense of witness. I want to get down on the page the particularities of an iceberg or glacier front.”
“I want to relate the materials I’ve gathered while at a location…to impart something of this physical experience of place to the viewer.”
