Biography
Gbemileke's studio practice revolves around ranging issues from solitude to the complexity of heritage. “Connecting with people's emotions and minds as a visual artist is dutiful, invoking the elements through engaging and provocative representations is fundamental to human existence and development."
His series titled Dementia gives an expository about the agoraphobic inclination of the artist and also conveys a sense of being suspended in time and space exploring the menace between the physical and mental state.

Gbemileke's works are described as expressionist paintings with fewer recent works leaning towards abstract expressionism. His primary medium is acrylic with the juxtaposition of oil pastel and charcoal to strike textural harmonies.
“My art is incomplete without the use of oil pastel and charcoal, which gives a nostalgic bring-back of my childhood when I used burnt wood and crayons for my drawings. Gbemileke currently lives and works in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria.
