Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Blind WIth WIngs

Small bowler-hatted figure in a blue-gray cape stands alone in a big white margin.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint on paper. 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. Front and center, a tiny upright figure with a dark round head and flat brimmed hat wears a cape of gray-blue scraps, with yellow legs below. It is 6 inches wide and 7 high.

Dressed up and waiting, in a very empty room.
