AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- SOFT POWER -
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:
The two rulers arrived dressed for power. The figure between them brought only a heart.
On either side stand watchful, sharp-crowned characters with exposed teeth and startled eyes. Between them, a smaller figure stretches out curling arms beneath a vast blue eye. It has no threatening mask and no visible crown—only a subtle smile and a red heart carried close to the body.
In Soft Power, ARVY uses the direct, unfiltered language of naïve art to reverse the expected hierarchy. Black, cobalt blue, acidic yellow and hot pink move across the pale ground in restless strokes, giving the composition the energy of an improvised ceremony. Beneath its humour lies a fable about strength: the loudest presence is not always the most powerful.
Surrounded by figures fighting to appear important, the quiet character at the centre becomes the one that is hardest to forget.
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.

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.
