Description
A powerful exploration of the female form. This acrylic painting captures a raw, visceral energy. The composition is tight. The body feels compressed. It presses against the edges of the frame. This creates a sense of tension and enclosure. Bold reds and deep earth tones dominate the palette. They evoke a feeling of heat and intensity. The brushwork is expressive. It emphasizes the weight and volume of the flesh.
The artist approaches the nude with a fearless gaze. She challenges traditional perceptions of beauty. Instead, she focuses on the psychological weight of existence. The distorted proportions suggest an internal struggle. It is a daring study of intimacy and vulnerability. The figure seems to oscillate between strength and fragility. This artwork serves as a critique of societal pressures and gender roles. It transforms the human body into a site of emotional resistance. Every stroke contributes to a narrative of confinement and liberation. The light catches the curves of the torso. It highlights the physical presence of a body in a restrictive space.
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.
