Charcoal, pastel, and colored pencil on paper // Wes Lang’s Offering is a mixed-media artwork that combines charcoal, pastel, and colored pencil on paper. The piece presents a haunting, symbolic composition, featuring cloaked skeletal figures and a human skull on the right side. The central area displays a small portrait of a woman, with a subtle skull floating beside her, seemingly merging innocence and mortality. The background blends bold black, pink, and green areas, creating a contrast between life and death. Lang’s work often explores themes of mortality, the human experience, and spiritual symbolism, and Offering seems to convey the inevitability of death and the transient nature of existence, depicted through both graphic and playful artistic elements.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
