About the Artist
Robert Hurt is an American space artist and science visualization specialist renowned for transforming astronomical data into vivid, cinematic imagery. Collaborating with NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he creates visuals that make complex discoveries accessible and memorable to the public.
His work, including this depiction of TRAPPIST-1e, exemplifies how contemporary space illustration bridges scientific communication and decorative art. For more celestial imagery, explore our space wall art collection.
The Artwork
Created in 2017, this poster was inspired by the discovery of TRAPPIST-1e, a potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting an ultra-cool dwarf star about 40 light years away. The planet captured global attention as a candidate for future exploration and as a symbol of the search for life beyond Earth. The artwork was designed to evoke the wonder of interstellar travel, imagining the moment of arrival at a new world and the anticipation of discovery.
This vision was part of a NASA initiative to engage the public with exoplanet research, using art to inspire curiosity about distant worlds. For more scientific themes, see our science art prints.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features a spacecraft window framing a stark, red-hued landscape beneath a dramatic sky. Neighboring planets or moons float in the distance, enhancing the sense of scale and cosmic isolation. The use of deep reds, dark shadows, and cool blue accents creates a striking contrast and a distinctly science-fiction atmosphere.
Digital precision is evident in the clean gradients and crisp lines, while the poster’s layout nods to mid-century travel art. The overall mood is contemplative and cinematic, blending modern design with a vintage print sensibility ideal for space exploration posters.
In Interior Design
This piece serves as a bold statement in offices, media rooms, or minimalist living spaces, where its futuristic perspective can anchor a gallery wall. It complements modern and mid-century interiors, as well as tech-inspired decor, and is a fitting choice for a teen’s room or a creative workspace.
Pair it with charcoal, black, or graphite furnishings, and echo the artwork’s red and blue tones through accent pieces. For a polished look, consider combining it with options from our frames collection.
