Curatorial Description:
This expressive intervention on a classic Coca-Cola bottle transforms commercial glass into a dual-faced totem of emotion and identity. Painted in thick impasto with raw, gestural strokes, the work presents two contrasting yet interconnected human faces—one composed, the other more somber and blurred. This ambiguity invites the viewer to reflect on the multiplicity of the human soul. The artist, ArNoUx, leaves the piece intentionally incomplete for now, stating that “it still lacks its final touch”—a poetic nod to the unfinished nature of human growth and divine grace. As part of the German Expressionist in Acrylic on Glass series, the bottle is a reflection of inner duality and emotional dialogue, waiting to be fully revealed.
