night at the museum

A person stands in a bright red space, holding a yellow flame. Rather than appearing brightly lit, the space feels more like a dark room lit by a fire, with shadows pressing in all around. In front of the person, mounted on a pillar like a sculpture, is a vast and weird object: part asteroid, part machine, with organic folds and striations. The parts of the object closest to the flame glow yellow, fading into red and purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
