Painted in oil on canvas, Astronaut presents a floating inflatable figure surrounded by star-shaped balloons, rendered with Ian Bertolucci’s signature hyperrealist precision.
The work draws from hyperrealism and contemporary pop art, transforming a whimsical subject into a visually striking composition. Every crease, highlight, and reflection on the inflatable surfaces is carefully observed, creating a strong illusion of volume and depth against the flat, saturated background.
A bold colour palette defines the piece, with luminous purples offset by bright metallic golds and soft whites. The contrast between matte background and glossy forms heightens the sense of suspension and play. This original artwork is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online.
