Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Centaur #3, Framed

A dark centaur-like figure paces a rust-red desert under a pale blue sky

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on paper. Because the skins are peeled up, anything painted on them is reversed, so he must write text backwards and paint a figure facing right if it is meant to look left. Visible here, a small collage shows a four-legged dark figure with a human torso standing on an orange-brown plain. Pale blue sky and jagged distant cliffs sit behind. It floats in a wide cream mat and a pale brushed frame. It is 22.5 inches wide, 2.25 deep and 23 high.

A long walk to nowhere, taken with excellent posture.
