Bold and unflinching, Fragmented Face captures the raw intensity of human expression through sweeping lines and saturated color. Barton’s use of marker creates sharp contrasts—dark strokes slicing through vivid reds, oranges, and purples—giving the portrait a fractured, restless energy. The subject’s gaze, wide-eyed and searching, seems to teeter between vulnerability and defiance. At once chaotic and precise, Fragmented Face is a striking exploration of identity, reminding us that beauty often resides in the pieces we cannot neatly reconcile.
