Curatorial Note:
A haunted gaze emerges from layered shadows and sweeping gestures in Help (or Something We Dare Not Say). Painted on 9×12 cardstock from a sketchbook, this piece fuses instinctive expression with subconscious revelation. The word Help appears faintly embedded at the base, not written but carved by paint and energy—part plea, part echo. ArNoUx captures the fragile edge between speech and silence, emotion and abstraction. The white strokes, like interrupted breath, frame the figure in a state of suspended urgency.

This is German Expressionism in its most urgent voice: vulnerable, raw, unfiltered.
