Freed from gravity, Nicolas Sarter, an illustrator, painter and self-taught screen print artist, illustrates a travel diary in which each painting takes us beyond the Earth, through asteroid fields, orbiting new planets or newly formed stars, exploring the center of our galaxy ... It gives a glimpse of several stories in remote places and often reflecting our own isolation.
An invitation to travel in the depths of our galaxy.
This book compiles a selection of 42 works shown in France and Australia since 2010.

«The works of Nicolas Sarter raise the question of the Relationship between scientific discoveries and the rest of human society. [...] Nico’s work borders on astronomical illustration, a very well established field of representational art that uses what scientists know about things in space, to imagine what they would look like if we could be there.»
