Burst of Autumn
Artist: Victoria Zyluk Medium: Acrylic on canvas Dimensions: 20" × 16" × 0.5" Presentation: Unframed Collection: Summer Release
Catalogue Entry: Burst of Autumn captures the moment when the forest shifts from quiet green to a full, resonant blaze of colour. Zyluk’s expressive impasto technique builds a living surface — bark, leaves, and filtered light rising from thick strokes of paint that feel almost sculpted. The vertical rhythm of pale trunks anchors the composition, while the surrounding foliage erupts in warm ochres, reds, and golds, creating a sense of movement and seasonal transformation.
This piece reflects Zyluk’s fascination with the emotional temperature of landscapes. The interplay of texture and colour invites viewers to step into the forest’s hush, where autumn’s intensity is softened by mist and distance. As part of her Summer Collection, Burst of Autumn stands as a celebration of nature’s cycles — a reminder that even in the heat of summer, the memory of fall’s brilliance is never far beneath the surface.
