An eye for grotesque

More about An eye for grotesque

A black and white surreal artwork depicting a collage of distorted human and monstrous faces, eyeballs, and abstract organic shapes. In the foreground, a woman's face with large, wide-open eyes, a prominent nose, and slightly parted lips looks forward. Her skin appears textured and somewhat skeletal on the left side, with flowing hair around her head. Above and to the right of her, another woman's profile (from the neck up) with closed eyes and flowing hair is rendered in a smoother, more classical style. Below the forward-facing woman's chin and to her right, a grotesque monstrous face with sharp teeth, a visible tongue, and an eye within its head peers out. To the far right, a large, prominent, round eyeball with a dark pupil is encased in a textured, almost fabric-like circular frame that suggests a speaker or a deep socket. The background consists of interwoven, flowing, and hole-punched organic textures that create a sense of depth and movement. The overall impression is one of unsettling dream logic and fragmented subjects, rendered with stark contrasts of light and shadow, highlighting the surreal and unsettling nature of the scene.
