幽潮 Ink, iron oxide and charcoal on canvas 100cm x 140cm (39 inches x 55 inches) 幽潮 (Yūchō) is a grand and commanding work of contemporary abstract art by VITYRA. This striking piece, titled in Japanese, translates poetically to “Ghost Tide”, a name that whispers of otherworldly currents, fleeting forms, and the unseen forces that shape nature’s rhythm. Measuring an impressive 100 x 140 cm, 幽潮 (Yūchō) is an evocative landscape of monochromatic mystery. It invites the viewer to drift inward – like a tide pulling you gently yet inexorably into the unknown. Formed from flowing strata of oxide black pigment and enriched with natural minerals such as black iron oxide and charcoal, the piece glows with organic depth and tactile presence. These noble materials, derived from the earth itself, create a visual sensation that is as raw as it is refined. The composition evokes the aura of mist-shrouded coasts, tidal echoes, and ancient ink wash paintings, yet it is unmistakably modern – balancing tradition and abstraction with arresting confidence. The eye is led through shadowy arches and organic trails, conjuring images of receding waves, ethereal gateways, or the sacred silence of untouched landscapes. 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. 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.
