This powerful mixed media painting on canvas is a striking example of the work of Scott Covert (b. 1954), a renowned American contemporary artist celebrated for his unique and emotionally resonant technique. Using oil wax crayons, Covert creates richly textured rubbings from gravestones and monuments, layering them with expressive colors, personal inscriptions, and symbolic markings.

Signed on the reverse and housed in the original artist’s frame, this work exemplifies Covert’s deeply personal and conceptual exploration of memory, mortality, and cultural legacy. His career began in 1979 with a solo show curated by Keith Haring at Club 57, and his work has since been exhibited in major galleries across the globe.

Ideal for collectors of American contemporary art, conceptual mixed media, or culturally-driven pop expressionism, this piece is both visually compelling and emotionally profound.
