Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: What The

Scribbled words, stacked faces, and a spiky black head crowd a busy white sheet.

This work on paper is by What The, and is ca. 2001. It is paint & mixed media on paper. Mark Westervelt is an American painter trained at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Chicago, whose work has come to include a variety of mediums over his career. Several small faces sit among the text, including one with a spiky black crown, and the words what the appear at the top. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

Every inch is talking, and none of it politely.
