Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Broken Face
About this piece
A grim modeled face sits on a slab of splattered gray, with the word face scrawled below.
This work on paper is by Broken Face, and is ca. 2003. It is paint & mixed media 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 rough rectangular slab, torn at the edges, is splashed with gray-green paint and black spatter. A small framed small mask with bulging eyes is set in the middle, with cursive lettering and fragments of text across the surface. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.
It announces itself in handwriting, in case anyone doubted.
