I attended the Affordable Art Fair in Singapore last week. There were thousands of paintings on display, but only a few depicted fire (or objects related to fire). Fire still seems to be a very underrepresented theme in art.

Probably the only artwork at art.sg (a huge art fair in Singapore) depicting fire. #fire is such a rich subject infused with meaning, yet it doesn't feature much in #art.

"Fire (...) makes palpable the ontological dualities at its core: decline and renewal, death and birth, chaos and order."
