Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Free Range

Proud rooster with glossy dark plumage struts across a flaking cream wall.

This work on panel is by Free Range, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on panel. Faces and figures recur in his work as a way to express inner conditions of the self, and he has said he hopes viewers first think wow and then what. The cream ground is blotched with ochre patches like peeling surface, and a band of orange and brown runs across the top. It is 10 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 10 high.

Struts as though the wall were built for it.
