Buck 66 - Sesow

J and I went to DC for Matt Sesow's open studio. We have liked his paintings since the first time we saw them at the American Visionary Arts Museum Holy H2O show (one of my favorite AVAM shows). After that we bought a painting online and it hangs over J's desk. We love it. We were excited to meet him and see his new work. We also hoped to talk to him about doing a show at our gallery in the future (Matt Sesow is at the top of our list of artists we would like to host). It seems that is very likely to happen and we're thrilled. Matt was friendly and interesting to talk to and while talking about the "31 days in July project" he mentioned and showed us the headline that inspired his "false flag" painting. Washington Post front page featuring Chelsea Clinton's wedding and at the bottom, below the fold, in small print, 66 US soldiers killed in the Afghanistan War in July. Thank you for your awesome paintings and thank you for doing your part to keep the wars in people's thoughts. 66 US soldiers killed. Of all the things we could talk about, that came up. I had Buck 66 in my pocket to drop. I let it float out the window on Connecticut Ave.
