Description

24 Universes are a complete cycle of feminine sensibilities pressed unto auditory pads. Using my body, “nipples” to be specific, I transmit sensitive paint from my most feminine entities unto circular Saxophone pads that belong to my father. Expressing a complex research in female identity I use my own breasts to make a sophisticated statement about femininity and freedom in expressing female sexuality in a patriarchal society. In a vibrant circle within multiple squares, I create a bold assertion of creative persistence in expressing effeminate yearning. In this series, I printed my nipples in various colors on 24 pads, which resembled my age when I completed the project. Each Pad is set in the center of the frame presenting female sensitivity as the core of the universe. The pads are circular and colorful contrasting the black background and the static frame. This contrast is created to manifest the power of art and boldness in feminist art against enclosed and limited patriarchal societies. To print a part of your own body on an external material is a delicate process of an intimate fusion between two diverse natures becoming one, with a synthesis leading to a new poetic visual language. This artwork is part of a series, "24 Universes" and it was exhibited in a solo show at Artlab Gallery in Beirut.

Dzovig Arnelian, Universe 22 - Nipple Print
Lebanon  • 1996

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.
