Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Nose Dive

Single boomerang-shaped figure bends sharply across a teal field.

This work on paper is by Nose Dive, and is ca. 2014. It is paint on paper. Mark Westervelt is an American painter trained at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Chicago, whose work has come to include a variety of mediums over his career. Centered, a long, thin figure made from gray and cream patterned scraps bows in a deep angle, head up at the right. The teal ground is streaked with scraped vertical marks, and a band of earthy brown runs across the bottom. It is 10 inches wide and 10 high.

Folded in half and, somehow, still elegant.
