Curatorial Statement:

In Color Testaments, ArNoUx transforms everyday, discarded Coca-Cola bottles into vivid altars of color and energy. Sacred Vessel No. 1 embodies the artist’s intuitive and meditative approach to abstraction, layering gestural strokes of red, lavender, yellow, and fuchsia that pulse with life and improvisation.

This object defies its industrial past, shedding its consumerist origins and re-emerging as a contemplative sculpture. The application of paint is raw and intentional, echoing the artist’s belief in art as a daily therapeutic act rather than a final destination. This series reclaims and redefines waste, inviting the viewer to engage with the sacredness of the ordinary.

Each vessel in the Color Testaments series is unrepeatable—alive with energy, imperfection, and symbolic transformation.
