When you think sci-fi, you think metal. You think space. You think speed, technology, lasers, and everything mechanical. You don’t think trees. You don’t think grass, rivers, or flowers. And yet, the crossovers between nature and sci-fi are everywhere, which is especially evident in this beautiful new art show.
The show is called “Through the Woods,” and it’s by artist Nan Lawson. It’s open now through February 15 at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, CA and takes some of the most famous sci-fi and fantasy properties of all time—Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, X-Men, etc.—and filters them through their most gorgeous, natural settings. The results are subtle nature prints you could put on your wall without anyone knowing exactly what they are.
