Born Gemma Annick Edmonde Harbulot on March 23, 1937 in Nouméa, Gemmanick is a Neo-Caledonian symbolist painter of Irish origin. Coming 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, initially 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 abandons realism to create a personal pictorial language which she calls Nuances, a sensitive, spiritual, and vibrant universe. Her early exhibitions in Nouméa, notably in 1965 and 1969, achieved dazzling success.
Discovered by Seiji Tōgō, a member of the Academy of Fine Arts of Tokyo, she exhibited in 1971 at Nichido Gallery on Ginza. In 1973, her painting Aquarescence won the grand prize at the Nika Kai salon. On Tōgō’s advice, she settled in Paris in 1975, where she exhibited at Galerie Vendôme; David de Rothschild acquired one of her works there.
In 1977, her painting Carnaval sous la mer became an Aubusson tapestry, making her the first oversea artist woven at Aubusson. The work was even reproduced on a stamp in 1978. She then pursued an international career, exhibiting in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Germany.
