Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Hears Everything Cant Speak

Horned little figure in a split brown-and-cream coat looks ready for a debate.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint 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. Visibly, a small figure with a tan, mask-like head and two small horns wears a rounded coat with maroon lower panels and cream upper patches. Short legs stand beneath. It is 6 inches wide and 7 high.

Horns are small, convictions are large.
