    - David Hockney

    "No Fire" offers a stark contrast to its counterpart, "Bigger Fire." This piece presents the same hearth, now void of flames, leaving only the darkened remnants of ash and soot. The absence of the vibrant fire shifts the focus to the details of the surrounding objects and the texture of the hearth itself. The subdued tones and the quiet stillness of the scene evoke a sense of calm and reflection, highlighting Hockney's versatility in capturing both the liveliness and the tranquility of a single space. This piece invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the changing states of energy within a domestic setting, making it a subtle yet powerful exploration of stillness and presence.
