AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
- CLOSED PROXIMITY -
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: 100x165 cm (entire canvas)
Artwork Overview:
CLOSED PROXIMITY depicts four distinct figures positioned closely together against a muted, layered background. Each figure possesses a different head shape and visual identity: a pale circular face beneath a single crowned eye, a narrow figure with asymmetrical eyes and an orange crown, a dark bird-like figure with elongated red-tipped horns, and a tall enclosed form crowned in blue. Despite their differences, they occupy the same visual space, creating a sense of connection without suggesting complete unity.
The composition is built around contrasts between openness and enclosure. Eyes recur throughout the figures, becoming the most immediate point of contact between them, while the repeated crowns introduce a subtle hierarchy or shared visual language. Loose spirals, grids, lines, and fragmented marks move through the space between the figures, visually binding them together while also keeping each one psychologically separate. The title CLOSED PROXIMITY captures this tension: closeness does not necessarily mean intimacy. The figures are near one another, yet each remains contained within its own form, suggesting the complicated space between isolation, observation, and connection.
Details:
Canvas dimensions: 100x165 cm, with additional 5 cm on each side for stretching

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!
