Observations
Across all four panels, the style combines dense abstract imagery with recognizable but fragmented faces, eyes, animals, and organic forms. Thick, highly visible brushwork and forceful black outlining build a vivid, tactile surface, while repeated stripes, grids, circles, and other geometric marks create energetic movement and visual congestion.
