Small in scale but immense in presence, Untitled radiates a raw, emotive power. Painted in acrylic on paper, the 5 x 7 inch portrait is built from bold, layered strokes of blue, ochre, crimson, and cream. The subject’s gaze is steady and haunting, caught between vulnerability and defiance, while the textured brushwork gives the face a sculptural weight that belies the intimate size of the piece. With this work, Barton demonstrates how intensity and humanity can be distilled into the simplest of forms, offering a portrait that feels both timeless and immediate.
