About this work

The image shows a piece of lined paper with two human figures drawn in ballpoint pen. The figures are faceless and featureless, with numbers scattered across their bodies. The numbers appear to be a code or a system for mapping the human form. The drawing is simple yet intriguing, with a sense of mystery surrounding the purpose of the numbers. The use of ballpoint pen on paper gives the piece a rough, sketchy quality. The artist, Robert Watts, was an American artist known for his experimental and conceptual works. This piece is a great example of his unique style and approach to art. If you're interested in learning more about Robert Watts and his work, you can explore his profile on Gallery Tiles.
