Curatorial Description:
The Mothers of Bethlehem by ArNoUx is a poignant tribute to one of the most tragic yet powerful moments in biblical history—the Massacre of the Innocents, ordered by King Herod. In this 8 x 10 inch canvas, layered with vibrant splashes of yellow, crimson, teal, and black, ArNoUx captures the chaos, fear, and faith of the women of Bethlehem.
On the left, a grieving mother emerges from darkness, her halo-like white strokes a sign of sacred protection and sorrow. Her expression is layered with anguish, resistance, and divine light. To the right, shadowy figures emerge in the distance, including the ominous presence of Herod, abstract yet haunting, as he enacts a decree that altered history.
This piece reflects not only horror but hope—through bold abstraction and symbolic layering, ArNoUx honors the resilience of women who stood between destruction and destiny. It is a spiritual call to remember the unseen sacrifices that surrounded the birth of Christ.
