- Sunday Best -
ORIGINAL Painting, character portraiture by ARVY

The painting is 100% hand-painted using highly pigmented artist-grade acrylic paints and finished with a UV-protective satin varnish. It is created on unprimed, firm, robust, and kink-resistant gallery-quality canvas (360 g/m²) without a stretcher frame.
Dimensions: 105x165 cm (entire canvas)

Artwork Overview:

They dressed for the occasion, although nobody could remember what the occasion was.
Four elongated figures stand together like guests waiting for a celebration to begin.

Each has invented a different version of elegance: towering black crowns, patterned bodies, coloured lashes and faces divided into carefully arranged sections.
One character wears two mismatched eyes inside a red-and-black oval, another presents a single solemn gaze, while the figure on the right smiles as though already enjoying the performance.
A floating eye at the edge resembles an unseen photographer capturing their arrival.

In Sunday Best, ARVY explores the playful ritual of becoming presentable. Clothing, posture and expression form a language spoken before any conversation begins. Yet these characters are not hiding behind appearances.
They use style to construct themselves freely, transforming crowns, markings and unconventional proportions into declarations of personality.

The warm sand-coloured ground gives the painting the atmosphere of a stage moments before the curtain rises. Deep black shapes establish a strong graphic rhythm, animated by cobalt blue, burgundy, pink, yellow and acidic green.

Deliberately naïve drawing meets neo-expressionist texture, while scratches and improvised symbols keep the formal lineup spontaneous and alive.

Sunday Best celebrates preparing for life as though it were an event worth attending.

The party may never officially begin, but these four have already arrived—and the joyful act of appearing entirely as themselves is occasion enough.

Artist Bio:
ARVY is a fourth-generation artist continuing a family legacy of visual and performance art. He studied painting at an art college, graduating in 2016, and has been active in the art world ever since.

Raised in a creative household, ARVY began his artistic path in childhood while assisting his father — painter, illusionist and performer Arvydas Gaičiūnas ( Retne ), co-founder of Magic Theater DiArchy. This early exposure to both visual art and stage performance shaped his distinctive, theatrical sensibility.

ARVY’s work is eclectic and emotionally charged, blending elements of contemporary expressionism, symbolism, street energy, and poetic abstraction. His pieces explore contrasts — chaos and harmony, intuition and control — reflecting the pulse of modern life through vivid color and raw gesture.

He has exhibited internationally and his works are held in private collections across Europe. Beyond painting, ARVY is also known for his creative versatility as a musician and digital creator, bringing the same intensity and imagination to sound, movement, and image.

Thank you for considering ARVY’s work. This portrait is sure to be a standout addition to any collection of modern or contemporary art!
