Description

This 2022 acrylic painting explores the visceral boundaries of the human form. The composition blends abstract expressionism with a daring study of the nude. Deep crimson and earthy ochre tones dominate the canvas. These colors evoke a sense of raw emotion and physical warmth. A fragmented figure emerges from the right side. The limbs are soft yet defined. They merge seamlessly into a textured background of mixed media. The artist utilizes a bold approach to challenge traditional gender roles. Every brushstroke emphasizes a feeling of vulnerability and strength. The application of paint is layered and organic. This creates a tactile depth that draws the viewer closer. The interplay between the defined body and the dissolving shapes suggests a fleeting moment of closeness. It is a fearless examination of the female experience. The artwork balances the tension between visibility and concealment. A stark contrast exists between the white voids and the saturated reds. This visual dialogue highlights the fragility of intimacy. The piece concludes with a focus on the fluid curvature of the legs.

Dzovig Arnelian, The scent of intimacy

Presentation

Dzovig Arnelian (b. 1996) is a Beirut-based Lebanese-Armenian artist whose works address themes related to gender roles, feminism, and the criticism of patriarchy. Her practice is mainly focused on painting and exploring her body as her paint brush, etching, engraving, and photography. Her depiction of deeply personal subjects is bold yet sensitive, offering a view of her world in an intimate, subtle and vulnerable manner.
Arnelian's contemporary expressionist style is typified by her use of bold and vibrant colors and she also experiments with versatile mediums, using material from her everyday life that evoke feelings of sensuality, love, fertility, and intimacy. Arnelian's bold yet delicate expression challenges prevalent stereotypes about femininity, sexuality and feelings we trap and express in our bodies.
Arnelian obtained her bachelor's degree in plastic arts in 2019 and later completed her master's degree in fine arts in 2021 from the Lebanese University. She held her first solo exhibition "24 Universes" in 2020 at Artlab Gallery in Beirut and has since participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Egypt, Spain, the United States and Japan. Her works have also been acquired by many private collectors from across the world.
Dzovig Arnelian is also the founder of Arneli Art Gallery.
