I think it is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring things that the human eye can behold. Its volume keeps us wandering, its mysteries keep us pondering. For this painting, <em>On A Tangent</em>, I was heavily inspired by the book of Giles Sparrow &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hubble-Window-Universe-Legacy-Edition/dp/1848669658">Hubble Legacy Edition</a>. On the back cover, there is a note that says the book contains the &#8220;most dramatic images of the universe taken by the Hubble telescope&#8221;. And indeed, they are truly out of this world. What I painted below is a fusion of the star cluster <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_602">NGC 602</a> and the <a href="http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2006/39/image/a/">Bullet cluster (1E 0657-556)</a>, comprised of light and dark matter. The message I hope to convey to viewers is to never stop exloring. Please enjoy. &#8211; K.K.Atlas</p>
