Dimensions: 105x165 cm (entire canvas)

Artwork Overview:

They were built to function, but something inside them kept feeling.

Across a chalky field, four hybrid beings appear assembled from lenses, screens, antennae, warning signs and exposed inner parts. At the left, a radiant horizontal eye balances above an angular body like an observation device. Beside it, a box-headed figure resembles a primitive machine: twin circular lenses, a central grille, stacked compartments and a horn-like mechanism mounted above. The narrow figure at the centre carries one eye above another, while the character on the right has a scattered face connected to a dark torso in which a red and violet heart remains visible.

ARVY treats the body as a device designed to navigate a world of constant demands. These characters appear engineered for seeing, processing and responding, yet their irregular construction allows emotion to escape through every seam. The machines can register information, but the exposed heart prevents complete automation.

Pink and cobalt marks travel across the off-white ground like the remains of an unfinished wiring diagram. Yellow, red and black divide the bodies into bold components, while deliberately naïve geometry and neo-expressionist gestures resist mechanical precision. Scrapes, revisions and broken contours make the entire system appear unstable.

Human Hardware captures the pressure to operate with perfect efficiency while remaining painfully and defiantly alive.
