Curatorial Note:
In The One Who Carries the Sky, ArNoUx confronts us with a face of silent strength and spiritual burden. Painted on modest cardboard, this portrait channels the expressive tension of German Expressionism—where color and gesture override realism. A vivid blue arc floats above the head like a celestial weight or divine seal. Around the figure, auras of pink, red, and ivory bleed outward, suggesting fire, memory, or unseen forces. The humble cardboard becomes a sacred relic in ArNoUx’s hands, offering a quiet but potent icon for reflection.
