冷影
Indigo, clay, charcoal and terre verte on canvas
100cm x 140cm (39 inches x 55 inches)
冷影 (Reiei) — meaning “cold shadow” in Japanese — is a meditation on the stillness of indigo, where light wanes into silence and form is surrendered to obscurity. In this work, contemporary artist VITYRA evokes the sensation of a breath suspended, of presence distilled into absence.
Measuring 100 × 140 cm, the painting is composed of indigo, clay, charcoal, and terre verte on canvas. Its surface reveals layered tonalities — a depth of blue shifting into ash-grey shadow, faint green undertones pressing through, and the soft erosion of clay textures that suggest time weathering the visible into what cannot be held.
冷影 speaks of impermanence: of coldness not as emptiness, but as a vessel for memory. It dwells in the fragile threshold where clarity dissolves, where the eye lingers not on what is seen, but on what is slipping away.
As with all works by VITYRA, the piece belongs to the philosophy of wabi-sabi — an embrace of transience, incompletion, and the dignity of shadow. 冷影 is the quietness that endures, the shadow that holds presence within disappearance.
This original painting by VITYRA is discreetly hand-signed on the reverse side to preserve the purity of the artwork’s surface and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. VITYRA is represented by S-Gallery, a well-known gallery for Viennese boundary-pushing contemporary artists. The artwork will be shipped rolled in a secure, protective tube—an eco-friendly and safe method that reduces shipping costs and risk of damage. The canvas measures 100 x 140 cm, with an extra 5 cm border on each side for easy re-stretching. Frame placement is lightly marked on the back to assist precise mounting.
