VITYRA - 黄焔 - No Reserve

黄焔 Raw sienna, yellow ochre, charcoal and ink on canvas 100 cm x 140 cm (39 inches x 55 inches) This contemplative large-scale painting by contemporary artist VITYRA evokes the quiet violence of sunrise over scorched terrain. Titled 黄焔 (Kōen) — a Japanese term translating to “yellow flame” — the work feels suspended between combustion and clarity, destruction and illumination. The scene is not literal, yet unmistakably elemental. Measuring 100 cm by 140 cm, the piece is composed of raw sienna, yellow ochre, charcoal, and ink on hand-stretched cotton canvas. The pigments are layered with a sensitivity to their natural qualities: ochres glow warmly, while the charcoal seeps like smoke across the bottom plane, forming a soft rupture between light and dark. The upper region dissolves into a golden haze — a suggestion of air thick with heat, or ash gently rising. There is a haunting restraint in 黄焔. Its power lies not in what it shows, but in what it holds back. As with many of VITYRA’s works, the painting feels like the echo of an event — the afterimage of something that flickered and faded. It is at once smoldering and serene, holding the tension of fire remembered, not seen. Guided by principles of wabi-sabi, VITYRA embraces the transient nature of his materials — allowing pigment to settle, bleed, or resist in its own way. Each composition is improvised, unrehearsed, and created without replication. The result is always singular: a visual fossil of a moment that cannot occur again. 黄焔 stands as a testament to what remains after intensity — a golden stillness, edged in shadow. 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.
