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, Gem creates playfully absurd work populated by fragmented figures, sentient calligraphic lines, exuberant motion, and personified objects. Fusing nostalgia and innovation, Gem’s work offers an introspective glimpse into the intricate aspects of the human experience, by elevating the overlooked and illustrating ineffable, elusive emotions.
