Dotted eye

Marilyn Kelly-Buccellati – July 2000, August 2024

One of the main characteristics of this style is the variety of ways the heads of both humans and animals are depicted. Eye always prominent and often dotted. Full face and profile; thin outline or thicker outline; always accent on the linear quality. The eye is often made with a thin continuous outline which can be round or oval and a large heavy dot in the center.

Part of the uniqueness of the style is the visual impact of this eye.
