Wes Lang, Illustrator, New York

Description

This drawing by illustrator Wes Lang features a vibrant blue bird perched below two stylized clawed hands with green tones and red fingertips. The subjects are centrally positioned against a massive, dense cloud of heavy black charcoal or pastel scribbles that fills the center of the off-white paper ground. The mark-making is raw and expressive, utilizing visible textured strokes and layered dark pigment to create a stark contrast against the bright surrounding paper. The composition is compact and centered, framed horizontally with ample negative space around the central dark mass.
