Mixed media on wood // Arianne by Paul Van Hoeydonck, created in 1966, is a mixed-media piece on wood that combines sculptural and painterly elements to convey a fragmented female form. The artwork presents a disjointed, textured figure in red and black, emerging from a stark white background dotted with subtle patterns and indentations. This portrayal of the human body in pieces evokes themes of vulnerability and disintegration, suggesting both physical and emotional fragmentation. Van Hoeydonck's use of contrast between the figure’s vivid colors and the muted backdrop enhances the sense of isolation, while the three-dimensionality of the form invites viewers to engage with the piece from multiple perspectives.

What is Space Art?
Space Art is an artistic genre that depicts the cosmic elements of the universe, including celestial bodies, interstellar space, and space exploration. It began in 1865 with the first science-based illustrations by A. de Neuville and Emile Bayard in Jules Verne’s novel From the Earth to the Moon. Space Art has since evolved to include various forms of visual art inspired by astronomical discoveries and the human imagination, playing a key role in visualizing the wonders of space.
