Richard Penn - Cradle (ink and watercolour)

Richard Penn’s work is about origins. He is interested in the almost ungraspable scope of our universe from the extremely small to the unimaginably large and distant. His most recent work borrows shapes and formats from the Hubble deep space telescope and the Kepler space telescope, both of which are used to look outward into space and backward in time at the far reaches and earliest moments of the universe. The Kepler telescope’s primary mission is to search for extra solar planets and specifically earth-like planets which will have an impact on theories around the probability of life beyond Earth.
