About this work

This sketch shows a close-up of a single eye looking upward. Above it, tangled branches and sharp leaves fill the space, twisting together like a stormy mass. Two tiny houses peek out from the top corners, almost hidden in the chaos. The artist used a rough, scratchy style to make the lines feel urgent. The eye seems to stare right at the tangled mess above, like it’s trapped under all that noise. If you like this style, check out more works by Lasar Segall.
