During a recent riot between alt-right and black bloc protestors in Berkeley, Paige St. John spotted an artist documenting the scene in an oil painting.
My favorite Berkeley riot moment: the street artist who strives to capture the conflict between alt-right and black bloc, pepper bombs & all pic.twitter.com/Lqam1Ccasi

The artist’s name is John Paul Marcelo and you can see the final piece on his Instagram page. It even sounds like the piece can be purchased for $400.
