Splashes of main colours improve the dotted traces and angular varieties that compose Expanded Eye’s tattoos. Artists Jade Tomlinson and Kev James (beforehand) are behind the distinctly geometric designs that pair foliage and pure matter with architectural constructions and figures: single fingers prolong with delicate gestures, fragmented faces open to unveil inside dimensions, and stripes, chevrons, and different patterns fill structural parts. The ink-based works are poetic and surreal, with every composition rooted in narratives of consciousness, relationships, and common human feelings like grief and pleasure.
