Bhare / Artist Bio
Shareon “Bhare” Blenman's assertive, folksy paintings enliven a self-narrative with turbulent emotions, accompanied by a cast of various characters. The self-taught artist immerses himself in writing, tackling what it means to live a full life as a young African American. Guided by curiosity to discover, highlight, and champion his Caribbean Ancestry, Bhare finds solace in his representation of a decorated heritage within his artistic subjects and iconography.
The artist received his Culinary BA from Johnson & Wales University and afterwards exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, and Philly, among other cities. His work resides in many private collections nationwide alongside commercial spaces, with his work commanding upwards of high five figures. Shareon stands at the forefront of Gen Z artists, influenced and guided by his pursuit to craft the perfect dish, no matter the medium.
In 2026, Bhare will have completed his residency with Goodyear Arts, shifting his common narratives on its head, leaning into a critique of the human condition.
