Bad Painting 158 - Four police officers are killing a black man. Again

Since 2013, Jay Rechsteinier has been working on a specific painting series titled Bad Painting. Working on Bad Painting is what painting is all about to him: an exploration of a theme, a subject, and the general development of painting as a process and a medium. It is not only painterly but also political which is very important to Rechsteiner. Art has to be political to him (although everything is political to a certain degree).
