Abstract Mixed Media Painting with Eyes by Jennifer Haessly

This is a vertical abstract mixed media composition attributed to contemporary artist Jennifer Haessly. The work is executed on a rectangular paper substrate and features a dense, monochromatic palette dominated by black, charcoal, and white, with selective accents of ochre, mustard yellow, and dull orange. The artist utilizes expressive, gestural brushwork and palette knife applications to create a chaotic, layered surface. A recurring motif of stylized, wide eyes is scattered throughout the upper and middle portions of the piece, appearing emerging from the dark, shadowy background. The lower section of the work introduces a textured, collage-like element or heavy impasto with a rugged, crystalline appearance in shades of gray, white, and yellow. The construction suggests a multifaceted layering technique typical of modern expressionism. Condition-wise, the work is unframed and appears to be secured with a black clamp at the top; the edges show minor irregularities consistent with manual handling. There is no visible signature on the front, though it is associated with the artist Jennifer Haessly. The style reflects 21st-century abstract expressionism with a focus on dark, psychological themes.
