Sim Smith presents new works by British painter Kemi Onabulé at NADA New York 2025, booth A216. The art fair will take place at The Starrett-Lehigh Building, 601 W 26th Street, 3rd Floor, and is open to the public from May 7 to 11.
Drawing on her rich Greek, English and Nigerian heritage, Onabulé paints in oil, depicting figures in landscapes standing, or lying, in verdant forests and scorched plains amid fronds of foliage and long shadows. Onabulé presents us with a diverse awareness that spans history and the present whilst also looking to the future. She expertly voyages through landscape, exploring our relationship to the natural world and our current ecological predicament.
