Hopefully it evokes some type of feeling, the question is what type of feeling?
either way the artwork you posted definitely served a purpose for the artist...it communicated, and much more than that
it's a peek into a world (into a mind) that was disturbing
but there is a lot of REALLY appreciated work that is very much like that
everyone must choose for themselves what they will put on their own wall and live withI'm glad you shared it
thanks,
sid
