Volcanoes

In 1991, as a sequel to his highly-acclaimed Visions of Space, Hardy produced The Fires Within: Volcanoes on Earth & Other Planets, with text by Dr. John Murray. A number of the paintings (many in oils) may be seen here, and Original Art is available for several of them. It was originally planned to hold an exhibition of these at Birmingham's Science Museum, and a number were framed; but then the excellent Museum was closed and replaced by the Think Tank – largely 'interactive' exhibits for children. . . Which is why these paintings are now available.

These prints make an unusual and attractive subject for the wall, but the diagrammatic ones may also be very useful as posters for educational purposes, eg. schools etc. Other examples and subjects may well be available – too many to include here – so please e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.

Volcanoes

People sometimes express surprise when they find that space artists like David have a great interest in volcanoes, but it is actually quite natural. The volcanic areas of Earth are often the best 'analogues' of other worlds; Mars and Venus have massive volcanoes, and Jupiter's moon Io is the most active body in our system. Titan, Enceladus and Triton also possess volcanoes or geysers.

This is why the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), of which Hardy is European Vice President, holds workshops in places like Iceland, Hawaii, Death Valley, Nicaragua, St. Helens. . .
