My Take
Jesse Waugh interests me precisely because he resists a single label. A Berkeley-born painter who is also a film director and photographer, he studied in San Francisco, and his short film El Angel screened at the Los Angeles Freewaves Festival at the Museum of Contemporary Art. He also has his own website and an Instagram account. Artists who create from compulsion rather than for accolades tend to produce the most honest work. I read him as a free-spirited Bay Area maker, and I am quietly curious to see where his eye takes him next.
