Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Left Footed, Framed

A small figure in layered scraps stands on a peach field, framed in a dark burl frame.

This work on paper is by Left Footed, and is ca. 2013. It is paint on paper. 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. A small square collage in peach and apricot with red flecks. A tiny standing figure in muted pieces stands at the center. The work sits behind a wide cream mat in a dark, figured frame. It is 21 inches wide and 21.25 high.

A tiny figure with a big frame and good manners.
