Ignite your senses with “FiRE![v1],” a dynamic and fiery mixed media artwork by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2023. This piece, measuring 36 inches by 24 inches with a depth of 1 inch, is presented on canvas, providing a vivid canvas for its explosive energy.

“FiRE![v1]” captures the essence of fire through an abstract lens, with vertical streaks of color that mimic the movement and intensity of flames. The composition is rich with reds, oranges, yellows, and blacks, creating a sense of heat and motion. Mixed media on canvas allows for a textured depth, where layers of paint and perhaps other materials simulate the complex, ever-changing nature of fire. The use of darker tones interspersed with bright, warm colors suggests both the destructive and transformative power of fire, evoking emotions from awe to warmth.

The vertical orientation of the piece draws the viewer’s eye upward, much like flames reaching for the sky, while the interplay of colors and textures invites a closer inspection, revealing subtle details that mimic the dance of firelight. Riley Vandervest’s technique in blending and layering the media brings a sense of realism to the abstract form, making the viewer feel the heat and see the flicker of flames.
