Description
"Stellar Rituals" by Michael C. Turner
© 1998/2009 ~ Galactic Visions Space Art
Acrylic on stretched canvas using traditional bristle brush techniques ~
36" x 60"
(One of my old Archaeoastronomy paintings.)
***(Please See Verse Picture [link] )
A cosmic alignment viewed through, mist enshrouded, colossal megalithic portals on a remote planet in a satellite galaxy . . . The galactic arms of the background galaxy have been contorted into irregular bands from the gravitational influence of its colliding companion galaxy and the interaction of its own gravity. A double beacon of light jets from the bright nucleus of the galaxy, as seen through the megalithic portal alignment, cloaking a super giant black hole. This galactic encounter will create a stellar ritual with gravity serving as the ultimate oracle. Many star systems will be altered; some shall meet their ultimate destiny while other neophyte stars will be born. In the wake of chaos a new order will arise . . . Such a view would certainly capture the attention and imaginations of sentient beings across the myriad stellar systems. Myths, legends, and rituals would surely emerge from both primitive and advanced civilizations. So called "primitive” civilizations would interpret these celestial events from a superstitious and/or religious perspective whereas “advanced” civilizations would likely employ what they consider “scientific” knowledge to interpret such cosmic phenomena. Either way a kind of ritual would assist in creating order from apparent chaos.
"Stellar Rituals" is #8 in my Christmas in the Stars limited edition card series. [link] Each year I select one of my paintings to use on the cover of my "Christmas in the Stars" Christmas Card series which I began in 1991. I realize that everyone may not appreciate space art in this context however, I trust you shall still enjoy the paintings for what they depict scientifically if not spiritually . . . )
