Description

Featured in this interpretive artwork of Jupiter is a range of colors and repeating curvilinear forms inspired by the gaseous atmosphere of Jupiter. There are several colorful expressionist references to the Great Red Spot. The composition has elements of complexity and simplicity which are conveyed through the medium of pastel on paper with psychedelic effect. Tadpole-like stripes and swirls form a colorful modern art tapestry of Jupiter's cloud bands and spots. Jupiter is the largest planet of our solar system. It is surrounded by more than 50 moons! The magnetic field is massive and rotates with the planet, sweeping up charged particles and converting them to damaging radiation.

This artwork was created in a respectful spirit of wonder to honor the powerful energetic forces working on and through the planet. There's something about the strong magnetic pull of the massive planet that has mesmerizing effects, causing observers' thoughts to oscillate between intrigue of its beautiful intricacy and intimidation from its overwhelming, almost incomprehensible power. Its mysterious nature permits nothing less than a sense of awe and appreciation of its unique, commanding beauty.
