Nehemiah R. Edwards (also known by his moniker, Nemogreater) is a Milwaukee-based artist whose paintings and digital work use his playful iconography of angel and demon characters to highlight the conflicting relationship between our morality and our vices.

Edwards has most recently exhibited at Mahogany Gallery and in The Closet at Saint Kate Arts Hotel. His work physically immerses guests in his artistic process: guided by the immediacy of an unrefined aesthetic, he recreates his studio with materials authentic to his practice. Saturated with abstraction and color, the atmospheric environment implores viewers to lose themselves in the paintings surrounding them in order to escape personal woes in exchange for a moment of serenity, eventually arriving at a place of transcendent peace.

Driven by his desire to help others through his creative endeavors, Nehemiah’s work transports guests to a world of infinite love, peace, and potential.
