Description

Subject Matter:

The Mirror depicts a rough, abstract rendering of a face formed by carving freehand into wood. In incorporating the techniques of puncturing and slashing that were his trademarks, this work is a reflection of the artist on many levels.

Physical Description:

Oil-type paint and mixed media on carved 3/8” hardwood veneer wood panel. Grain runs vertical on painted surface. Carved areas expose inner core running horizontal.
