ARVY - Cognitive Mask - XXL

- Cognitive Mask -
ORIGINAL Painting, character portraiture by ARVY

The painting is 100% hand-painted using highly pigmented artist-grade acrylic paints. It is created on unprimed, firm, robust, and kink-resistant gallery-quality canvas (360 g/m²) without a stretcher frame.
Dimensions: 120x105 cm (entire canvas)

Artwork Overview:

This work presents a psychologically charged portrait articulated through layered pigment, assertive brushwork, and deliberately exposed structural tensions.
A crowned, mask-like figure emerges from a field of muted greens, saturated blues, vibrant yellows, and expressive reds, establishing a dialogue between authority and emotional vulnerability.
Fragmented facial geometry and shifting chromatic zones suggest the instability of identity and the performative nature of self-presentation.

The title Cognitive Mask functions as a conceptual anchor, framing the image as a reflection on intellectual self-protection, social adaptation, and the distance between inner experience and outward expression. Visible revisions, surface abrasions, and gestural inscriptions reinforce the authenticity of process and temporal depth embedded within the work.

Positioned within a contemporary lineage informed by neo-expressionism and modernist primitivism, the painting resonates with collectors who value symbolic complexity alongside architectural presence.

This piece offers a considered opportunity to acquire a distinctive, intellectually grounded work that continues to reveal meaning through sustained viewing and thoughtful ownership.
