Let’s Get Free members, Alan Lewandowski and etta cetera came upon the profound artwork of Matthew Matteo in the Green Lantern Gallery in Greensburg, PA. We purchased these three paintings there for our collection. We have looked for Matthew who has been released from prison for quite some time but have not been able to contact him. His artwork is recognizable to others who have been in PA prisons. According to Yusef Jones, his depiction of the cell in the piece called, “Depression, is one of the most accurate renditions of a prison cell he had seen.
