Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Entree, Framed

A formal tailcoat and gray trousers stand at attention with no head to speak of.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint on paper. His paint skins are made by painting on plastic and peeling the sheet off, so the side against the plastic is glossy and the side exposed to air is matte. A framed collage of a standing figure with a black tailcoat, white shirtfront and gray trousers, cut from scraps. It is 16 inches wide, 1.5 deep and 18.25 high.

Immaculately dressed and happily quite headless.
