'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' Andrew Stones 2026. Drawing, square format. One of a series of highly stylised, graphic works featuring a shield-shaped object with a hand grip: like a vanity mirror with its back to the viewer, doubling as a hand-held mask. In each case, the large mask is positioned on a central, vertical, axis, like the subject of a traditional portrait. The background is bisected horizontally about one third of the way up, hinting at a landscape, or a room, behind. Each 'Best Mask...' is based on the same object/background template. Together, they are obviously variants of one design; perhaps a set of elaborate emojis for compromising or insincere self-presentations. The whole picture field of 'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' is suffused with organic greens. The lower third of the background is near-black, patterned with fine, parallel horizontal lines of earthy green. The upper two thirds is predominantly light, leaf-green, with the appearance of a thick weave patterned by fine, vertical stripes of bright green. The main plate of the mask, at upper centre, is dark green, patterned like tightly-woven basketwork, shading into darker green at its edges. Two dent-like blemishes of slightly different sizes are placed analogously to eyes; tokens for eye-holes that, unfinished, can afford no view. Above the left dent is a single black mark suggestive of an eyebrow, performatively compressed to signal concern. Beneath the right is a mark denoting puffy-eyed tiredness, or strain. The fluting of the dark green hand-grip, attached to the bottom edge of the mask, is picked out in fine lines of bright green. The title 'Best Mask for the Extractive Capitalist' is a hand-written in bold white script across the bottom of the image. An artist's signature, in smaller, white script, reads vertically upwards, along the upper right-hand edge.
