May 25, 2020, Esteban Jefferson's exhibition at 303 Gallery is titled for the date of the murder of George Floyd. Jefferson's large scale exquisitely rendered oil and graphite paintings document the evidence of the protests that followed.
Martin Herbert writes for Art Review
If Esteban Jefferson’s paintings appear unfinished, that’s because the processes they address are unfinished. If they work to make people and things seen, it’s because they weren’t seen before.
