Curatorial Statement:
Puppet Bravage is a bold German Expressionist Figurative mixed-media piece created from a recycled Pop Secret popcorn box. ArNoUx transforms a discarded package into a symbolic stage where form, shadow, and distortion merge with expressive human features.
A sculptural element made from twisted aluminum foil erupts from the center of the piece, adding a three-dimensional presence that suggests movement, tension, and emotional unraveling—like a puppet breaking free from its strings. The painted face, partially emerging from the original printed graphics, reflects vulnerability and resilience, echoing the bravery implied in the title.
The contrast between industrial packaging, raw brushstrokes, and metallic foil highlights ArNoUx’s ability to elevate everyday materials into expressive objects charged with narrative power. This work stands as part of the artist’s ongoing exploration of recycled materials, invented characters, emotional distortion, and spiritual symbolism within German Expressionist language.
