Between the Eyes
1984

A mixed-media artwork featuring abstract elements and two human figures. The background is splattered with red and blue paint, with a prominent red smear on the right side. The figure on the right is detailed in black, appearing in profile, while the figure on the left is outlined and has a yellow rectangle over where the face would be. Sketchy, linear representations of an urban landscape are visible in the background.
