Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Bang Bang

A dark-clad figure in mid-leap flings its arms out, with bang scrawled overhead.

This work on paper is by Bang Bang, and is ca. 2008. It is paint & mixed media 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 glossy black figure with a red pouch and white-patched face leaps through the center, with a tiny figure standing at right. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

The leap is committed, the landing is a mystery.
