Curatorial Description:
In Observing but Never in Complicity, ArNoUx explores the moral tension between witnessing and acting. The doubled gaze — eyes layered upon eyes — symbolizes conscience: the ever-present awareness of truth, even in silence. Through the fluid blues and earthy shadows, the artist exposes the fragile boundary between observation and participation.

The face, fragmented and multiplied, becomes a mirror of the human soul confronted with wrongdoing. The muted tones recall German Expressionism’s inner cry — not of rebellion, but of conviction. Here, silence is not innocence; it is the threshold of complicity.

ArNoUx transforms this vision into a spiritual manifesto: the believer must see, discern, and never remain still before evil.
