"I am trying to celebrate America," Sesow says, referring to his American flag painted on canvas. "I am for the betterment of what our Constitution stands for and what our Bill of Rights stands for... The idea of America for me is very powerful and very awesome and very excellent. I love this country. There is no other place I want to live," he adds.
But the "flag shows a lot of dripping. Like there is a lot of like almost blood coming down, or pain. And I think that is where we are going with a lot of things," he says.
from the interview about my painting "American Flag" over the Memorial Day weekend in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with "The Beach News". I had an opening at Gallery 50 which is up for the next few weeks. Contact Gallery 50 directly if you are interested in this piece. thanks!! Matt Sesow
