Scott LoBaido is adding the final touches to a 9-by-17-foot oil-on-canvas American flag at Washington’s Great American State Fair, with the work set for an Independence Day unveiling.
The Staten Island artist says the piece may be the largest oil-on-canvas American flag ever made and framed it as a public tribute for America’s 250th birthday rather than a political statement.
LoBaido, an outspoken Trump supporter, said the flag “is for everybody” and argued visitors from across the political spectrum have focused on its meaning and artistry, not partisan debate.
The painting is being created live at the Made in America Pavilion as part of a National Mall fair running June 25 to July 10 with 150 exhibits from all 56 states and territories.
LoBaido said the finished work has already drawn interest and could eventually find a permanent home, even floating the White House as one possible destination.
