A man half consumed by flame, head bowed. A face tipped back against a wall of orange fire. A woman waist-deep in water while the fire closes in around her. Fire runs through most of Tetra's work: what it burns away, and what is left standing in it.
Fire art prints on cotton paper, satin canvas, or framed. Open editions from $75, limited editions of 85 and 10 from $350. Free US shipping.
Fire is the oldest picture of change: it destroys and it lights at once. Painters used it for the Last Judgement and for Pentecost, for hell and for the presence of God. Doom paintings show the first. These works often do both in one frame: a figure burns and stays standing.
Will fire art make a room feel too intense?
On a dark wall it reads as warmth more than alarm, because the blacks around the flame are deep. In a pale room, choose a work where blue carries half the frame and cools the heat: Mercy Stallion, The Culmination, or So Rose the One Wrapped in Flame.
Which size and format?
Open editions run from 8×12 to 30×45 inches. Series 001 runs from 16×20 to 40×50. Paper is Hahnemühle Photo Rag, 100% cotton, ready for a frame of your own. Canvas is satin, stretched 1.5 inches, ready to hang. Framed is satin-black solid wood under acrylic, and there is framed canvas. Every piece is made to order in the United States, with free US shipping.
What does each work mean?
Every work is written as a formula of three to five named emotions from the XPRMTS periodic table of emotions. The doubled element is what the piece is about. The formula sits on each product page, so the meaning is stated, not guessed.
Every print comes on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, as satin canvas, or framed in solid wood, satin black. Series 001 works are capped editions with a certificate. Open editions have no cap and no certificate, from
$75. Free US shipping. Every formula reads on the periodic table.
SCALE
How big, actually.
Drawn to scale against a person of average height. Every size is a 4:5 rectangle, the same proportion as the work itself, so nothing is cropped to fit.

NONE
The work, as it is
A paper print ships flat or rolled and you frame it your way. A canvas needs nothing: it is stretched, wired and ready for the wall the day it lands.
