Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Him and Her

Face split between black and white stares out from a thicket of dark strokes.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2014. It is paint on panel. He began using dried paint after drips on a protective plastic sheet struck him as wasteful, and he glued the chips onto his canvas to add texture and found faces in them. Roughly central, a long narrow head divided down the middle, one half white and one half black, with large dark eyes and a long nose. It is 10 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 10 high.

Two minds, one set of eyes, and no bargaining.
