Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Figure on Stool #1

Seated figure in rusty stripes perches on a black stool with crossed legs.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on panel. Because the skins are peeled up, anything painted on them is reversed, so he must write text backwards and paint a figure facing right if it is meant to look left. Visibly, a cutout figure in copper, pink and black stripes sits on a small round black stool with a three-legged base, turned slightly away. The ground is flat cream with black flecks above and a gray-taupe band below. It is 9 inches wide, 1 deep and 12 high.

Perched on a stool with careful, copper-striped poise.
