- FRIENDLY - 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: 125x106 cm (entire canvas) Artwork Overview: “Friendly” is a paradox wrapped in color — a vibrant dual portrait that juxtaposes innocence with unease. ARVY’s signature visual language merges naïve expressionism with raw emotional power, offering a modern take on identity, duality, and the masks we wear. Two skeletal figures dominate the canvas — one blood red, one chalk white — locked in silent dialogue. Their simplified forms evoke childlike drawings, but their hollow eyes and jittery outlines suggest something deeper: the tension between friendship and fear, comfort and chaos. The bright orange and electric blue drips evoke graffiti culture and emotional urgency, while the chaotic black hairlines give the figures an almost punk attitude — both inviting and unsettling. Despite the title “Friendly,” the painting carries an ironic twist: what does it truly mean to be "friendly" in a fractured, overstimulated world?

Artist Bio: ARVY (born in 2001, Lithuania) 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. www.instagram.com/thesadyvra www.youtube.com/c/TheSadyvra
