Nifty Faces #17
AI curator
The figure is assembled from stacked rectangular zones—hat, brow, eye band, mouth bar—each packed so densely with crossing lines that the underlying form feels pressurized rather than drawn. The turquoise field holds everything at a cool distance while the interior burns with lime, magenta, and red. One eye spirals outward; the other collapses into an angular wedge. That asymmetry gives the face an unsettled quality the rigid geometry alone would not produce.

Related works
Nifty Faces #16
Both works use dense multi-color crossing lines to build a face, but #16 fragments outward across a yellow ground while #17 holds its form tightly upright against turquoise—a direct contrast of expansion versus compression.

Nifty Faces #18
#18 shares the asymmetric eye treatment—one circular, one crossed—and a rectangular mouth band, but replaces #17's structured hat with an open scribble fringe along the top edge, showing how a single changed element shifts the overall feel.
