Optical illusion drawing of a male figure with duplicated eyes and mouth

P.J. Doherty

Age 17

Focus, 2022

Coloured pencils on paper | Unframed: 29.7 x 42 cm

‘Drawn with coloured pencils on paper, Focus is a self-portrait. While there is a sense of chaos and disorientation conveyed through the vibrant colours and various fragmented layers of faces, the expression is transparent, losing ‘focus’ and drifting elsewhere in a moment of a daydream.’
