Wes Lang, Illustrator, New York

Description

This expressive oil painting by New York illustrator Wes Lang depicts a skeletal figure in profile against a dark, textured background. The subject wears an elaborate feathered headdress with textured white and dark plumage and a red decorative headband. Thick impasto brushwork creates a tactile, dimensional quality across the canvas, particularly on the layered feathers and the ornate garments adorning the shoulders. The stark contrast between the bright highlights on the headdress and the deep black backdrop emphasizes the haunting, graphic composition.
