Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Figure on Stool #4

Twisting figure on a stool turns her head as though called by name.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on panel. 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. Upfront, a cutout figure in warm orange-pink and black scraps twists at the waist on a small black stool, one knee drawn up. The head turns to the left. The cream ground is dotted with black marks above a gray-taupe band. It is 9 inches wide, 1 deep and 12 high.

Turning toward a voice that we cannot hear.
