When COVID came to town and the lockdown began in earnest, Seck37 picked up his paints and went to work on a blank wall . perhaps for the last time.
“The wall was donated, and I wanted to paint something bright and beautiful for Gainesville,” he recalled. “It was a complete ghost town and the streets were empty. Cops were asking me what I was doing.
“I said I was painting a mural as a gift to the city just to keep everybody’s spirits up.”
That “gift” was “One Love Gainesville,” a bold yellow and green composition of hearts and palm fronds that is still on display at the corner of Main Street and Northeast 10th Avenue.
