With Man #2, Justin Barton dives into the depths of introspection, crafting a portrait that is as brooding as it is magnetic. The figure, rendered in layered strokes of marker, bends slightly forward, his expression caught between thought and tension. Barton’s palette—earthy browns and grays contrasted against a fiery red backdrop—creates an arresting emotional charge, while the slanted gaze invites the viewer into a private, almost unspoken narrative. Man #2 feels raw, restless, and alive, a striking testament to Barton’s ability to fuse vulnerability with intensity in a single face.
