Curatorial Description:
“Calling Out From Death” is a haunting invocation, a visual prayer echoing from the threshold of despair. Painted on raw wood with heavy, textured strokes, ArNoUx captures a figure suspended between worlds—its face obscured and marked by darkness, yet haloed in ethereal white and green. This soul, neither fully gone nor fully alive, stretches from within the tomb-like silence, calling to the Lord with the last strength of the spirit.

The stark cross painted in black and the ghostly flower nearby are not just symbols; they are fragments of both grief and grace—suffering and salvation bound together. The piece speaks to those who have wandered far, who find themselves in the pit and still whisper the name of Jesus. Like Lazarus awaiting resurrection, this work cries out not just for life—but for divine intervention.

With German Expressionist intensity, ArNoUx offers us a portrait not of death, but of the longing to rise again.
