“In 2009, “Triptych” gallery, exhibited an extremely exquisite set of minimalistic paintings, “Silver & Black”...“Silver & Black” – his personal journey to explore Color and Texture. Here he tried to reproduce seemingly pure and cold emotions. Yet, how can emotions be cold? The “August Shadows” are very warm (2009), although they have a tint of gray coolness, they are still warm, like summer. Even his huge “Silver Bullet” (2009) is alive and warmed by a quick summer – at any moment it might burst like an explosion. Maybe that’s why there are not many black and silver works, and the following paintings had splashes of other colors: Vityk was not able to stick to the black and silver scale and exploded with bright colors – pink, yellow, and clear red”.
