Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Part Gila

Somebody reclines on a bare plain while a small skyline smolders behind them

This work on paper is by Part Gila, and is ca. 2015. 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. Seen here, a dark, reclining figure lies across a pale, patchwork plain with a thin band of colored buildings on the horizon. A sun drawn in loose orange spirals fills the upper left. It is 10 inches wide and 10 high.

A very relaxed afternoon, apparently under a scribbled sun.
