About the Artist
Tiffany J. Davis is the creator of this 2013 space-themed poster, drawing inspiration from both mid-century travel advertising and contemporary graphic illustration. Davis’s work often explores the intersection of science and imagination, presenting astronomical subjects as opportunities for storytelling rather than distant facts.
This approach resonates with collectors interested in our space poster collection and those who appreciate the blend of retro aesthetics with modern sensibilities.
The Artwork
Named after the real rogue planet PSO J318.5-22, discovered in 2013, this poster imagines a world adrift in the cosmos, unbound by any star. The concept transforms a scientific discovery into a narrative destination, inviting viewers to contemplate the mysteries of a planet in perpetual night.
Inspired by NASA’s Exoplanet Travel Bureau, the artwork reinterprets scientific headlines as invitations to dream and explore. It connects the excitement of contemporary exoplanet discoveries with the tradition of vintage travel posters that once promised adventure beyond the familiar.
Style & Characteristics
This poster exemplifies retro-futurist design, featuring stylized explorers and an alien landscape illuminated against a vast cosmic night. The color palette is dominated by cool blues, deep blacks, and crisp whites, creating striking contrast and visual clarity.
Defined by clean lines and precise highlights, the piece evokes the look of screen printing or modern digital illustration, with a cinematic and quietly suspenseful mood. It pairs well with other science themed prints and complements blue toned wall art for a unified display.
In Interior Design
PSO J318.5-22 is well suited for home offices, media rooms, hallways, or teen bedrooms where imaginative themes are welcome. Its night sky ambiance fosters focus without feeling cold, making it a versatile choice for minimalist interiors with personality.
Consider pairing it with matte black or white frames, charcoal textiles, and metallic accents to enhance its space age character, or introduce warm wood tones for contrast. This fine art print also integrates seamlessly into gallery wall arrangements that mix typography, photography, and graphic posters.
