Current Show

The trajectory of Matt Sesow’s life is mirrored in his art. While it’s not always pretty, it never fails to garner attention. As a child, his left arm was amputated after a traumatic accident. Eleven years later, he began to share his paintings with the world and hasn’t stopped since.

In shows from New York to Europe, his vivid colors, frenetic lines, and contemporary aesthetics have been called raw, emotional, and intense. He paints fervently, sometimes documenting current events with an acerbic eye. He claims Willem deKooning and Francis Bacon as inspirations, along with the punk music soundtrack of the 1980’s.  

"I am excited and honored to be showing with the Jeanine Taylor gallery in January ("Matt Sesow: From the Gut").  I'm taking this opportunity to create a series of emotionally charged paintings that help showcase a collection of my most successful and popular painting themes from the past 17 years. 

Additionally, Jeanine is giving me the opportunity to create some 'locally inspired' works at her studio prior to the opening reception which will be part of this exhibit as well.

I have been fortunate to have recent solo exhibitions in France and Spain during 2011.  This showing with Jeanine will be my first domestic solo exhibition in 2012."
