Cosmos

The Art of Observing Space
Artists and astronomers are trained observers. This publication offers a thought-provoking gathering of visual artists contemplating their place in the universe, ranging from personal subjective responses through to artists whose work connects directly with science data. A richly-illustrated catalogue containing artists’ statements revealing the depth and breadth of their creative practice. A Foreword by the engaging astrophysicist, author and broadcaster, Chris Lintott; an essay by the exhibition curator and artist, Ione Parkin; Sian Prosser writes on some of the key historical figures whose drawings, prints and early photographs influenced the spread of astronomical discoveries; exoplanetologist Amaury Triaud reveals an astronomer’s perspective on the science and research functions of light. This publication accompanies the exhibition Cosmos: The Art of Observing Space held at the Royal West of England Academy in January-April 2026.
