Sleeveless Sweater
1982
A bold, graphic figure rendered in John Wesley's signature flat, commercial-art style depicts a woman in a sleeveless sweater, her form outlined with clean, deliberate lines against a stark background. Wesley employs his characteristic limited palette and smooth acrylic application to create an image that hovers between pop illustration and fine art. The work reflects his ongoing fascination with femininity, fashion, and the seductive language of mid-century advertising imagery.
