Man #1 is an arresting study of presence, built from bold lines and layered tones that command attention. Barton’s use of marker and pen amplifies the portrait’s intensity: oversized eyes meet the viewer with an almost unflinching stare, while the full lips and strong features are framed against a searing red background. The composition is compact yet powerful, every inch of the 6 x 9 inch surface alive with texture and movement. In Man #1, Barton balances vulnerability with strength, offering a raw, expressive glimpse into the quiet gravity of human identity.
