Description from the seller
- BEFORE RULES -
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:
Before the world taught them how a face should look, they invented their own.
Between a hand-drawn sun and a yellow crescent moon, three crowned figures stand alive with different ways of seeing: one watches through startled blue eyes, another carries a single eye like an emblem, while the third holds a deep cobalt spiral—as though looking inward rather than out.
In Before Rules, ARVY embraces the unfiltered energy of naïve art. Perspective gives way to instinct, polished control to emotional truth. Acid yellow, electric pink, blue and black collide in fast, exposed marks, allowing the rhythm of the artist’s hand to remain visible across the canvas.
The work is not childlike through lack of knowledge, but through its refusal to lose what adulthood often erases: the courage to create before asking permission. Raw, immediate and impossible to ignore, it brings that untamed creative freedom into the room.
Details:
Canvas dimensions: 105x165 cm, with additional 5 cm on each side for stretching
Suggested frame size: 95x155 cm
Important: Please wait to order a stretcher frame until the artwork arrives to ensure accurate measurements.
Style: abstract portrait, maintaining its visual impact when stretched
Signed by ARVY on the front, and dated with signature on the back.
Shipping & Packaging:
Carriers:
DPD, GLS, UPS, PostNL, FedEx, or LP EXPRESS
Packaging: Securely rolled and packed in both a protective tube and a sturdy box, as shown in the photo, to ensure safe and professional delivery.
Tracking: Full tracking details provided
Note: It is recommended to wait until the painting arrives before ordering a stretcher frame for precise measurements.
Certificate of Authenticity:
Yes, included and hand-signed by the artist.
Canvas & Composition Notes:
The artwork includes 5 cm margins on all sides, continuing the design, making it ready for professional stretching. These margins ensure the painting flows seamlessly onto the edges, adding to its visual appeal even without a frame. Consulting a framer is advised for the best results.
