Looking to an Open Sky in Search for Ideas of Outerspace Abstract Art Paintings.

Looking to an Open Sky in Search for Ideas of Outerspace Abstract Art Paintings. Outer space captures our imaginations as do few other subjects. Just what is ‘out there’ and will we voyage beyond the moon to other planets in solar systems far beyond ours? The future holds the hope of mankind and in our sincere wish to explore all the possibilities that life brings, we find ourselves dreaming of outer space paintings. Perhaps they formed a part of our infant strivings towards art, when we learned of differing shapes: the crescent moon, the five-pointed star, the sunburst. Certainly when we discerned enough about our immediate environment, outer space formed the environment that was not immediate, the one that we yearned to visit. Only in our imaginations could we do this, save for the fortunate few who have escaped the bounds of gravity and have drifted in extra-vehicular activity while orbiting our earth. Those people have brought back tales of the clarity of their surroundings, the utter peace of quiet and the inspiring view of earth from thousands of miles up. The men who have walked on the moon have our utmost admiration, as they have seen and done things we only dream about.
Outer space paintings allow us to indulge our fantasy lives, as well as our budding scientific inquiries. How often does the iconic painting of Bonestell’s “Saturn As Seen From Titan” spring to mind, as we go about our daily tasks and look for inspiration among the chores? If only we could go there, we think, fly there somehow and stand upon Titan as we gaze in awe at the rings of Saturn. If we owned a giclee print of his groundbreaking work, we would hang it in a place of honor in our home. How much more distinguished would be an abstract painting based upon Bonestell’s image, fashioned with brush and paint and spread out widely upon a canvas that we can brush with our fingers to feel the texture of the work. More precious than a print, it would be, and we know we would sacrifice a great deal to own such a piece.
Should you be an amateur artist, you may commission an outer space painting. Don’t be shy! Take your sketch or simple idea to a reputable artist and let him see the idea through to fruition. He may even have some input of his own and when you look upon the finished result, you will see the advantages of the synergy created between the two of you. The painting will satisfy your every urge to own a piece of original art and when you hang it in the place of honor, you will point it out with pride to your guests, because you had the impetus and dream within you and needed only the helping hand of the professional artist.
Outer space paintings are varied enough to suit anyone interested in the genre. For the technological enthusiast, there are the detailed works showing the space shuttles, Mir space station, lunar landing modules, and these exist as a sub-group. Another sub-group is the exotic planet paintings, those depicting wildly luxuriant jungles on named but unexplored planets, as well as barren moons where the only way that human beings could live there would be in biodomes. For the truly adventurous, an outer space painting couldn’t feel more natural on the wall of your home or office. Choose one style for each area of your home and feed your impulse to daydream about space flight. Surely there is an artist whose work will complement your décor.
