“The inspiration for Spring 2012 stemmed from Van Gogh’s brushwork within his paintings. Upon seeing a sketch made in 1845 by Lord Rosse of the Whirlpool galaxy, we became interested in the connection found between images of the cosmos and Van Gogh’s artistic style. This sketch was done 44 years before Van Gogh’s Starry Night and there is a direct visual connection between the swirls of this galaxy and Van Gogh’s stars.” - Kate and Laura Mulleavy
