Born Gemma Annick Edmonde Harbulot on March 23, 1937 in Nouméa, Gemmanick is a Neo-Caledonian symbolist painter of Irish origin. Coming from two great pioneering families of the territory, she grows up between New Caledonia and the New Hebrides. Very early, at twelve, she discovers painting, initially inspired by the Pacific landscapes and the mining world where her family worked.
In 1963, the disappearance of her brother marks a decisive turning point: she abandons realism to create a personal pictorial language which she names Nuances, a sensitive, spiritual and vibrant universe. Her early exhibitions in Nouméa, notably in 1965 and 1969, meet with dazzling success.
Discovered by Seiji Tōgō, a member of the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts, she exhibits in 1971 at the Nichido Gallery on Ginza. In 1973, her painting Aquarescence wins 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 bought one of her works there.
In 1977, her canvas Carnaval sous la mer becomes an Aubusson tapestry, making her the first overseas artist woven at 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.
