THE STORY
Mark Castle is a London-based artist who uses traditional oil painting and meteorite dust to explore the vastness of space. In this piece, inspired by Whistler’s Nocturne in Black and Gold, Castle depicts the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. The composition features vibrant interstellar clouds, the red supergiant Antares, known as the heart of the Scorpion in Scorpius, and the globular cluster M4 above.
