This exhibition showcases the work of artist Jerry Segal, who paints compositions of spiraling, billowing gaseous star formations known as nebula. His compositions are derived from the Hubble Space Telescope and evoke prismatic landscapes, trippy other-worlds or wildly chromatic abstract compositions.
Introduced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA’9 in April 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope is a scientific instrument that documents critical data enabling astronomers to measure the age of the universe, identify quasars, discover gamma-ray bursts, locate dark matter and see galaxies in different stages of formation.
While the interstellar cosmos that Segal depicts represent a part of this universe that is real, it is wholly out of reach to the naked eye and will only ever be visually accessible to us through Hubble’s photographs.
