Gemma Ward’s illustration work speaks loudly of its fashion and photography backgrounds. Fast sweeping lines and dynamic female forms have been developed over a childhood of watching and imitating her mother’s fashion illustration. Further to, an obsession with image, composition, light and movement have intensified through her father's (and eventually, her own) camera lens, as has her insatiable appetite for slick aesthetics. However, the artist admits that the main stylistic drive of her work is less traditional- it’s all about music, and living and working in the London art-music scene.
