About Andy:
Andy Kehoe was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and now spends his days painting in his attic in Portland, OR. He grew up reading comics, enjoying the cool costumes and the ridiculous, stylized violence. Now relishing the nostalgia of childhood, he remembers the days of his youth spent watching cartoons, reading storybooks and doodling all day. This childlike sense of wonder is something he tries to portray in his work, reflecting a time when magic and monsters existed and all the mysteries of the world were possible. After high school, Andy took a long and expensive tour of art schools and finally ended up at Parsons School of Design in NY, where he studied Illustration. After a few illustration stints, Andy began to focus on his personal work—and in the years that followed, his paintings have been shown in galleries across the country.

About Wesley:
Movie stars might not pass through Degustation, the tiny 19-seat tapas bar-style restaurant in New York’s East Village, but it certainly gets its share of the city’s top chefs. Daniel Humm, David Chang and Thomas Keller have all come by the restaurant to sample the cooking of 28-year-old executive chef Wesley Genovart. He commands the open kitchen with aplomb, using immersion circulators and other tools familiar in the arsenal of avant-garde cooks like Ferran Adrià to create elegant dishes, plating each with precision right before diners’ eyes. Genovart, who was raised on the Spanish island of Majorca and in Fresno, California, has spent time in both Spanish and American kitchens. He worked in the Basque country, in Boston with Ken Oringer atClio and at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Perry St. before being hand-picked to helm Degustation. There, his skilled French technique and knowledge of Spanish tradition ensure artful reinterpretations and deconstructions that keep bringing top chefs, and a growing legion of dedicated diners, back for more.
