Moon Landing Painting Appraisal

Original Astronaut on Moon Swing Acrylic Painting

This is an original 24x24 inch contemporary acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas. The artwork depicts a stylized astronaut character seated on a playground-style swing, suspended by thick turquoise ropes against a crescent moon and purple nebula background. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing deep purples, neon yellows, and turquoise accents. The artist employs a unique 'cross-hatching' illustrative style with heavy black outlines, giving it a graphic or comic-book aesthetic. Notable markings include the number '502' prominently displayed on the astronaut's chest plate in red lettering. The construction features acrylic pigments applied with both brushwork and textural hatching techniques over a standard wood-frame canvas. The piece exhibits a modern, illustrative style likely dating to the early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible scuffing or paint loss along the edges, and the canvas tension seems intact. The background features complex layering of yellow and white stippling to create a cloud or cosmic gas effect at the base. While no signature is immediately visible on the front face, the craftsmanship shows high-quality control in the line work and consistent thematic execution.
