MATT TURNER - ARTIST

Matt’s work explores the relationship between science and art. On a visit to the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics, he was inspired to paint. Struck by the huge space hardware,it seemed to Matt that space exploration represented the most positive aspects of humanity. Great achievements are only made possible by the collaboration of skilled, knowledgeable people working together towards a common goal.

Matt was a winner of the 2024 NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program “Imagine Tomorrow” design competition for his Evacuated (Vacuum) Airship concept for Martian surface exploration.

Last year he received support from Arts Council England and was invited to NASA’s art program collection at Kennedy and Johnson Space Centres. He has exhibited Internationally and frequently collaborate with Space Park Leicester.

Matt is also an elected member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists.
