Did you cover the left eye and look at half the face?
He looks different, huh?
Now cover the right eye — and you see the “angry” or determined look.

The "unbalanced" depiction of Christ's face is ancient. The Christ of Sinai Icon at the Monastery of St Catherine is one of the oldest icons of Christ and has an unbalanced look, but not angry.
I have heard that this is to convey both attributes of compassion and judgment as well as the dual nature of Christ.
