This vivid composition draws the viewer into a surreal and chaotic scene centered around a striking, bloodshot eye. The circular frame that encloses the eye resembles a broken mechanical gear or wheel, with wooden beams radiating outward in jagged, fragmented directions. Yellow-green energy seems to pulse around the eye, adding an eerie, glowing intensity that enhances the piece's unsettling atmosphere.
The background is ablaze with fiery orange and red hues, layered with textured, eye-like ovals that appear to ripple and burn. The combination of organic and mechanical elements creates a tension between natural and artificial forces, suggesting a struggle for balance within chaos.
Picture Imbalanced is a powerful and thought-provoking work that commands attention. Markham’s use of color, line, and surreal imagery offers a visual narrative that is both intense and open to interpretation. This one-of-a-kind piece is perfect for collectors seeking art that challenges the eye and the mind while delivering an unforgettable visual impact.
