Lens

2009, 48" x 63", Mixed media on un-stretched canvas

A large face fills the canvas, with one eye obscured by a circular shape, possibly symbolizing a monocle or lens. The subject's open mouth and rugged, textured strokes suggest intense emotion, while the bold blue background contrasts sharply with the earthy tones of the face, enhancing the sense of urgency or outcry. This piece has a visceral energy, capturing a moment of distress or introspection in Jon Sarkin’s signature abstract style.

This piece is sold by direct inquiry only. Please book a private studio appointment for more information.
