Into the Fire by Kurtis Brand
66" x 96"
Acrylic, oil pastel, and charcoal on canvas
Made as the companion to Battle for Water.
Water and fire, two canvases, one room. The first runs cool and blue. This one runs hot.
Orange, crimson, and pink carry the entire surface, with gold rising through the middle and pale forms surfacing where the heat thins. Script covers everything, scratched into the paint and drawn over it. One word stays legible and appears twice: ascend.
That is what fire does. Everything on this canvas moves upward, and the warmth never breaks no matter how much gets written across it.
Color at this scale sets the temperature of a room rather than sitting inside one. It takes a long wall with distance in front of it, and it holds a space on its own or across from its companion.
