Curatorial Description:
In The Fish Who Saw the Fire, ArNoUx conjures a surreal underwater vision where a lone golden fish swims across a storm of abstraction. Layers of bold brushstrokes—ranging from electric reds to somber greens—merge coral-like textures with urban ruins. The fish appears wounded, bearing a dark spot, while the sharp black interventions cut through the canvas like harpoons of consciousness. The result is a tension between fragility and chaos, life and destruction—inviting the viewer to reflect on survival in uncertain worlds, both literal and spiritual.
