Between 2018 and 2021, Bryan Jabs created All Smiles, a body of work made in a state of grief, while seeking to heal and dispose of the pain felt by the loss of a close friend. Despite being derived from pain, these faces present hope, humor, kindness, and an optimistic desire for happiness. Their eyes amicable, their expressions goofy. They are without memory, and even though their turmoil is sealed into their skin, they do not seem to know.
