Gina Baber (b. 1982 Somerset) is an Artist and Designer living and working in London.

Print culture, printmaking and experimental printed textiles are the main focus of Gina's artistic practice, which draws on pop cultural references alongside a strong use of colour, illustration and painterly and abstract mark making. She approaches printmaking and the use of fabrics and materials in both a conceptual and decorative way. This allows opportunity for semiotics and storytelling alongside the study and application of craftsmanship in different forms, including fashion, costume, posters and banner-making.

Recent research and work has been centred around music videos, film stills, archive sports footage, music magazines and posters; and accessories and subcultural association, including the design, production, history and stories surrounding badges, pins and patches - particularly in relation to Punk, Post-Punk and New Wave in the 1960s - 1980s.

Gina is currently studying garment making and plans to start a small clothing label incorporating her screen printed and hand dyed textiles with limited-run garments and accessories. 

She runs Third Pyramid Press and the online secondhand bookshop Whammy! Books on Art & Counterculture. In addition to this, Gina is a DJ at various venues and hosts radio shows on Voices Radio and Loose FM
