Born Gemma Annick Edmonde Harbulot on March 23, 1937 in Nouméa, Gemmanick is a Neo-Caledonian symbolist painter of Irish origin. Hailing from two large pioneer families of the territory, she grew up between New Caledonia and the New Hebrides. Very early, at twelve, she discovered painting, first inspired by Pacific landscapes and the mining world where her family worked.
In 1963, the disappearance of her brother marked a decisive turning point: she abandoned realism to create a personal pictorial language which she called Nuances, a sensitive, spiritual and vibrant universe. Her early exhibitions in Nouméa, notably in 1965 and 1969, met with dazzling success.
Discovered by Seiji Tōgō, a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Tokyo, she exhibited in 1971 at the Nichido Gallery on Ginza. In 1973, her canvas Aquarescence won the grand prize at the Nika Kai salon. On Tōgō’s advice, she moved to Paris in 1975, where she exhibited at Galerie Vendôme; David de Rothschild acquired one of her works there.
In 1977, her canvas Carnaval sous la mer became an Aubusson tapestry, making her the first overseas artist woven in Aubusson. The work would even be reproduced on a postage stamp in 1978. She then pursued an international career, exhibiting in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Germany.
