You see a black-and-white screenprint: jagged lines, a floating eye, and a few words scrawled like a comic strip. Pettibon started in punk zines, so his art feels like a page torn from a notebook. The words don’t always match the picture—they clash, joke, or argue. Here, the eye stares back, but the text is missing. That gap makes you wonder what’s unsaid. Look up more of his work at The Museum of Modern Art.
