Constellations

View through Artsy
With glittering points of light and pulsing rays shooting across the canvas, artist Karen Tompkins’s new series, Constellations, evokes the grandeur of the stars and the mysterious depths of the night sky. As an artist who engages with the topic of astronomy and the constellations, Tompkins immediately situates herself within a long lineage of creative predecessors, such as Vincent Van Gogh, most recognized for capturing the drama of a starry night.
