Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Figure on Stool #6

Hunched figure with her head bowed curls on a black stool.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on panel. 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. Framed in view, a cutout figure in rusty orange and black strokes hunches over a small stool, back rounded, knees raised and arms hugged in. The cream ground is flecked with black, with a gray-taupe band across the base. It is 9 inches wide, 1 deep and 12 high.

Curled up small, and quite satisfied with it.
