Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Like Walking on Marbles

Two patterned figures walk hand in hand across a rusty orange ground.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2014. It is paint on paper. 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. One figure is made of pale blue and violet scraps, the other of copper and brown. They walk side by side across an amber ground with scraped streaks and rows of small pink dots along the bottom edge. It is 10 inches wide and 10 high.

A quiet stroll, taken in patchwork suits.
