About this artwork+
The painting displays a series of four square panels, each containing a pixelated representation of a face expressing different emotions. The first panel shows a face with a disturbed or upset expression, characterized by a downward curve and a furrowed pixel brow. The second features a shocked or surprised expression, with an open pixelated mouth and oval eyes. In the third, an angry face is depicted with a scrunched, hash marked expression typically indicating aggression or frustration. The final face seems composed but unhappy, marked by a straight mouth line and flat, unamused eyes. Each face is rendered in black and gray tones against a clean, white background, emphasizing the simplicity and clarity of the emotional expressions.
