THANK YOU to everybody that turned out for the opening of my exhibition MATT SESOW: Shock and Awe • Members Reception & Artist Talk at the American Visionary Art Museum on Sunday.

Review of my solo Shock and Awe Hits the American Visionary Art Museum – BmoreArt | Baltimore Contemporary Art https://t.co/YLgQjx4uwO
on this day, 2003, Dana Ellyn and I started our 10 year project, " 31 Days in July: Ellyn and Sesow". We each created 310 paintings in the series, all about the day's news in July from 2003 thru 2013. All of mine were 30"x40" and a few have been featured in museum exhibitions, including my current solo at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore... "Matt Sesow: Shock and Awe" now thru June 2017. Here's the second painting of the 310 i created on july 2, 2003: (see all of them, visit http://31daysinjuly.com"
