This is a very interesting artistic exercise. I can't help but think about how a painting that focuses purely on texture, rather than color or shape, mirrors the way that ASMR is a sonic art form that prioritizes texture over, say, melody. Very cool.
It is interesting to see people come to the same conclusions that postmodern artists come to by themselves, when abstract post modern art is so disliked.

Nice to see this void has a magnetic field off the charts. How Vincent Van Rift's head stays perfectly in stasis hovering above his body is remarkable. Excellent work to the staff at the Sanitarium for this one
Some people can’t really appreciate what or how a void is generated and/or explained; to them it’s completely UNAVOIDABLE!!! (I’ll see myself out now…)
such a great artist, plenty of natural talent, but you can tell they put a lot of work into learning the technical skills. I look forward to seeing more work from this artist in the future.
I keep coming back to this video when I’m stressed or thinking about dark stuff. Before this it used to be your brain massaging video (I don’t remember the name) Thank you for all your amazing content throughout the years, and to the people that see this, have an amazing rest of your day.
You can criticise his work all you want, but at the end of the day, you simply have to concede to the Fact, that this is propably one of the Paintings ever made.
*fancy art critic voice* Absolutely exquisite. I can definitely see the message you were trying to portray in this piece. It really captures the essence of societies pressures on the most oppressed classes in this hypothetical hierarchy. Well done.

Yo, if you're interested in that, check Pierre Soulages. French artist that works on a concept called "Outrenoir" iirc. It's all about the texture if I were to grossly summarize it
This is just wonderful. I have severe anxiety and for some odd reason the concept of a void just brings peace to my soul. The idea of painting one brings me supreme peace and relaxation. Thank you rift. You are amazing.
I've been pulling myself through a lot recently and it's slowly getting better but your videos are one of the only releases from this stress I have found so far so thanks man. I'm not really much of an ASMR person but something about the way you talk about life and things is inspiring. I specifically like your recent walk in the rain and the video outside at night where u can hear the owls.
Please make some more painting ones like this. I’ve been watching this for half an hour every night before bed to help me sleep for like the last three weeks and it never fails. Thanks for sharing it, and thanks for three weeks of blissful sleep!
I have to be honest, I really like it in the 93rd void of the 36th quadrant of the 82nd parallel, located in the 21st dimension of the 78th universe, inside the 2nd multiverse, right on past Linda's Laundromat. There is no place quite like it
You have captured the Void I inhabit exactly. It is the masterly application of Ivory Black as it contrasts to Mars Black and evokes the Seven Hells of another viewing of "Miracle on 34th Street" this Season. Now I know I am not alone (well actually I am) in this Void. Thank you.
Idea for a video: The Void man. Sells little baggies or jars full of void particles (could be as simple as painting them black or could go above and beyond and use black sand) while explaining the dangers and uses of said particles.
So i put this on, to sleep woke up at bout the 40min mark, and wow The void is turning out great! Never thought someone could capture it .... .. One of my now favorite ASMR vids ...
Hello Mr. Rift..,. Incredible ! The depth of your talent is unmatched . I actually got chills when you mix the two blacks to perfection . You can feel the different dimensions of this void . Not once did I see Mr. Riff refer to the void he was painting . Based on memory . Working his personal touch to this masterpiece shows unparallel perception . I hope Mr. Riff paints my personal favorite next...... "Dark Energy". Painting "Dark Energy " maybe the most challenging of all paintings . Excellent work !
Man im glad you're still doing this i used to watch every single video you made like 6 years ago but then i joined the military and got kinda side tracked but here i am on another sleepless night hopping back into the rift. Thank you for everything
Ok, I had my doubts at first but now I'm absolutely positive that Uncle Rift is in fact Lord Sheogorath himself. It's an honor to finally meet you, my Lord.
a long time from now these videos are going to be some legendary performance art pieces and I hope they get their due recognition as such. Few can do it like ER. Love to see your art, keep making it :)
It was really nice to see the 93rd void of the 36th Quadri quadrant of the 82nd parallel in the 21st dimension of the 78th universe in the 2nd multiverse past Linda's Laundromat AKA "Zack the Void" in such detail than ever before!
i like to think, for any void we do not have any communication with outright, you can just *feel* what the void likes and is as a person (you get the feeling of what their hobbies are in a way)
I dont mean to insult your void painting but this is exactly the random, nonsensical yet incredibly calming content I need. It feels like a warm hug from someone that has no clue about the sadness of life
You have to appreciate the talent on display on even the subtler levels you wouldn't think to look for. When he said he was going to do the base in Ivory Black instead of Mars Black I felt that was a mistake, and I still felt that way even after he finished the base coat and comparing it to the void. Then as he built up the details and blending of just the two base colors I realized what affect he was going for and why he chose that basecoat. A humbling reminder that when an expert says something counterintuitive there is usually a good reason for it.
I can tell that this guy has had some serious training in painting. Who would have ever thought that you could do so much with just ivory black and mars black !
54:31 This is an amazing work of art. The further he drew, the more clearly I saw the silhouette of a group of people with spears on a ship. Maybe they are Greek soldiers. At the bow of the ship stands a man with a long manuscript, the ends of which go into the water. Souls fly over the ship, so it could be the waters of the Styx. This is also hinted at by the unusual texture of the water - like hands reaching out to people. The whole scene in the next minutes disappears into the Void. In the last frames of the video, we can observe the silhouette of a human face in profile. Perhaps this is Charon, watching the daring trick of the soldiers from the shore. As expected, he did not interfere and just watched what was happening. Again, a beautiful work of art. It seems to me that the longer I look at this picture, the more it begins to peer into me.
Before I even read the description, I was already thinking “Bob Ross of the void.” Maybe I should get into “void painting”, there’s a painting I could do. 😂
Planet 4546B's void is pretty amazing too. Especially that blueish colour slowly turning into an ansolute darkness and friendly glowing creatures coming to say hi.
the painting, the concept, the acting, the details, the character, the asmr, the effort, the intrigue, and just the overall artistic feel of not only the painting but the video as a whole is truly one of your best works
I have to say: This is definitely the most impressive void I’ve seen in this lifetime. Maybe not my past lives because I’m sure more than a few enjoyed gazing into the abyss just to see if anything would gaze back but there’s something to be said about nothing indeed. Infinite emptiness as far as the eye could see; It’s enough to bring a nihilist to tears and not in the “abyssal demon stole my lunch money” sort of way 🥹
amazing as always rift, this genre of "mundane" videos you do are perfect and never fail to make me sleep. it's engaging enough that my mind doesn't wander, but also easy to drift off to without feeling the need to focus. very helpful for my adhd mind!

Wonderful painting 10/10. I'm both in awe and losing my sense of humanity.

Out of context, I would be worried if I walked in on someone I knew painting nothing but a black void of darkness on a canvas.

imagine he just pulled out the darkest paint in the world, musou black. and we just watch as the canvas slowly looks like it is consumed by the void
