“Eye Benches II,” crafted by the artist Louise Bourgeois in 1997, is a granite sculpture originating from the United States. This artwork is categorized under the Confessional Art movement and fits within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork consists of two large, eye-shaped benches placed on a manicured lawn amidst a serene, wooded backdrop. The eyes, carved from granite, are stylized with smooth, flowing lids that rest above the meticulously detailed irises, giving them a strikingly lifelike appearance. The sculpture juxtaposes a sense of surveillance and tranquility, inviting viewers to reflect upon themes of observation and introspection while interacting with the piece in its natural setting.
