虚 Raw sienna, yellow ochre, charcoal and ink on canvas 140cm x 100cm (55 inches x 39 inches) 虚 (Utsuro) — meaning “emptiness” or “void” in Japanese — is a meditation on absence that is not hollow, but full of potential. In this painting, contemporary artist VITYRA captures the quiet tension between dissolution and becoming, where forms waver on the edge of vanishing yet refuse to disappear entirely. Measuring 140cm x 100cm, the work is created using raw materials including raw sienna, yellow ochre, charcoal and ink on canvas. Golden tones flicker like fading light, pressing against sweeping fields of black that both conceal and reveal. The surface breathes with gradients of shadow and radiance — a dance between weight and air, between matter and the nothingness that surrounds it. 虚 reflects the impermanence at the heart of wabi-sabi: beauty not in fullness, but in the fragile balance of what is about to dissolve. The void here is not negation but possibility, an opening that allows meaning to emerge in silence. As with all of VITYRA’s works, the painting exists in the in-between — a place where transience itself becomes form, and emptiness takes on its own quiet dignity.
