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.
