Painting on Canvas, Female Figure by Mark Westervelt: Untitled, Framed

Long pink body stretches sideways across a salmon ground, held in place by little pins.

This painting on canvas, female figure is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 1991. It is chip paint & canvas. 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 reclining figure in pink and red stretches across a salmon ground streaked with drips. A pale cream band cuts across the middle of the body. A dark hand sits at right, and small bright dots speckle the surface. A slim frame surrounds it. It is 53.25 inches wide, 3 deep and 50 high.

Stretched out and perfectly unbothered by its own proportions.
