The Artist Kareem is a mixed-media visual artist based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His work uses expressive abstraction to explore identity, imagination and lived experience. Incorporating a handmade paste created from discarded mail, he builds directly off the canvas to create a tactile, three-dimensional experience. Drawing from personal, cultural and exploratory influences, his practice invites viewers to engage with moments of reflection, tension and connection. Each piece that he creates invites viewers into a layered visual language where material, emotion and meaning unfold over time.
