This is an existential piece. Everybody lives. Everybody dies. Everybody breathes. Everybody sleeps. Everybody wakes. Everybody drinks water. Everybody feels pain. Everybody feels joy. Everybody bleeds. Everybody lives. Everybody dies. This is an existential piece. We’re not playing games, the game is playing us
About Artist
Gbemi Smart is a self-taught Nigerian artist with an LLB, an MA in international relations, and an LLM in medical law. In 2020, she started painting during the lockdown as some form of escape and she hasn’t stopped ever since. Painting for her is an attempt at simplifying the complexity of reality. Painting is the attempt at capturing the human experience, telling stories words somehow seem to diminish, an attempt at life and all she brings.
Artist Statement
I like to think of my work as an “attempt”. So, each painting is an attempt to represent an accumulation of thoughts. Each painting is an attempt to represent parts of life that are beyond what we physically see, and touch. Each painting is a journey, as I once more, attempt to highlight painfully beautiful realities.
I find that while life is colorful, there are many dreary distractions. In my painting, I eliminate clothing materials and limit objects as my characters often exist within space.
As an artist, my paintings signify both my understanding and reaction to the world I was born into. It is a dialogue between myself and the world.

View AllWay -21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative Painting, Oil, Women Art
By BEMI
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Through the lens of motherhood and passion, this painting depicts a memory of time. A dream that could be reality. A reality that could be a nightmare. As life is in constant motion, this entire piece imitates movement. Like time. Like life. It’s almost nauseating. It’s almost beautiful.

Centered on mental health and its “invisibility”. This painting explores the mental and emotional conflict caused by dissociation between Imposed labels and self-identity. In the worthy pursuit of freedom from the endless constructs of this world, we hope to not become imprisoned by our minds.

This is My Life -21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative Painting, Oil, Women art
By BEMI
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Culture is more than a way of living, it also serves as a lens - a method of viewing the world. Visions are passed down from one generation to another as we run races that started before us. This painting depicts a journey, a collision of distinct characters. This is my life, but I am impacted by those before me.

Turkish Medal
By Michael Beam
Located in Buffalo, NY
Beam recognizes that a successful work of art “must develop its own personality…It must empower, engage or provoke the public’s attention.” One exhibition in particular, titled Owavino(1997-1998) [meaning last minute] held in Illinois—perhaps the pinnacle of media mastery—garnered Beam numerous reviews, attacks and responses, even after the exhibiton had closed, for his work Turkish Medal (1996-1997-2013). The painting combines a comparatively altered version of one of Pulitzer-Prize winning illustrator Bill Mauldin...
