Description
This intimate composition explores the profound connection between two bodies. The figures merge into a single, fluid form. Warm ochre and deep amber tones emerge from a heavy black void. These colors evoke a sense of subterranean heat and raw emotion. The artist employs a bold mix of acrylic and pastel to create a tactile surface. Every stroke emphasizes the weight and pressure of a tender embrace.
The narrative centers on the power of touch and feminine intimacy. It challenges traditional perceptions of the nude through a lens of empowerment and fearlessness. The forms are distorted and organic. They wrap around one another in a protective, circular motion. This rhythmic arrangement suggests a timeless sanctuary away from the external world. The mixed media technique adds a gritty, visceral quality to the skin. Light catches the curves of the shoulders and the softness of the faces. This 2020 artwork transforms a physical gesture into a psychological study of trust. The darkness that surrounds the couple isolates the moment. It focuses the viewer entirely on the tactile exchange of a soft touch.
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.
