c. 1980

About the Item

Queen of Outer Space - Original Sci- Fi Surrealist Composition On Board Dramatic sci-fi scene by Russell R. Tripp (American, 1942-2025). This sci-fi surrealist painting blends industrial and cosmic elements, featuring a rusted geometric metal structure that dominates the foreground, evoking a fusion of machinery and ancient monoliths. A partially nude woman with a crown stands atop the plinth, her regal presence contrasting with the rigid, mechanical forms. The nearly desolate landscape, scattered human figures, and celestial bodies in the vivid blue sky enhance the painting’s futuristic yet dreamlike quality. The rich textures, intricate details, and interplay of organic and industrial forms create a hypnotic composition that explores themes of mysticism, technology, and the passage of time. Signed: "R. Tripp" lower right. Board size: 30"H x 24"W Russell Tripp (American, 1942-2025) enrolled in art classes at ten years old, beginning his path to become a professional artist from a young age. He went on to study at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco, graduating in 1964. Tripp was a prolific artist, despite the level of detail in his pieces. During the height of his career, he was selling paintings as quickly as he could produce them.
