SIX GIANT LEAPS
By E. Lee Wilson, Jr.
Created as an homage to the Saturn/Apollo NASA program, “Six Giant Leaps” original limited edition series is inspired by the epic human journeys to the Moon in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. This painting series shows the topography of the lunar surface, as well as the locations of the six Apollo moon landings.
The artwork incorporates beach sand and seashells from Florida, US, and six certified Lunar meteorite fragments – actual pieces of the Moon! The type of meteorite fragments used in Lee’s artwork usually come from the asteroid belt (a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter) as well as certified fragments from the Moon and Mars. These specimens have not changed in composition since the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Imagine owning a painting that contains pieces of the Moon itself!
Only six paintings in this series have been created, and Aldrin Art Space has three of them.
