Lolo Gem (b. 1995, Westchester County, NY) is a Baltimore-based artist and illustrator. She received her BFA from The Maryland Institute College Of Art in 2017, and is currently an MFA candidate at Towson University. Working with saturated acrylic paint, drawing materials, and imagery culled from vintage comic books & early animation, she creates playfully absurd work populated by fragmented figures, sentient calligraphic lines, exuberant motion, and personified objects. Fusing nostalgia and innovation, Gem’s work explores human vulnerability by engaging with the fragmented, hidden aspects of the self—those shaped by fear, anxiety, grief, and the desire for connection.
