Help Identify Picture

[Finn]

I took the liberty to go over to an artist board and see if anybody recognizes it.

 

[Finn]

A poster over there ran some searches and came up with nothing. He (or she) seems to think it would have cost a lot to have it framed like that. And the poster doesn't really think those were initials but just part of a motif the artist was going for as there were some J-like marks as well.

I guess we'll have to ask someone who were responsible for props on the set, if they remember that thing.

Might this be a huge practical joke? Sorry, I don't want to get you down ... but I guess the possibility exists ...

 

[Finn]

^Still doesn't change the fact it's a very nice piece of art clearly well taken of with a sum of money and no hint of who did it even after asking an artist forum board.


I really don't give a damn if it was really on trek or not.

This is the Internet! It is ALWAYS a possibility.

It's always possible it was there on-set but never filmed. I've been trying to see decent pictures of Starfleet recruitment posters from the bar scene in ST'09 (as well as a rumoured painting of something like an NX-class ship from the Oviatt Library Academy scenes), which you can only see enough of in the BTS footage to know they're not any of the posters released online.

It's not from Basics Part 1 is it? In the background in Lon Sudar's quarters, perhaps if the image was turned.

I'm on Netflix so about 25 minutes into the episode.

 

[Finn]

It's not the same....but it does look like it was made by the same artist... Trying an image search


Something called "Material Design" came up. Nothing else.

 

[Triskelion]

Well I've flipped the painting both ways but I don't think it's a match. But Finn's right, it does look like we're on the right track! The frame is also different.

Judge for yourselves:

 

[locutus101]

It's always possible that it was something they intended to use but never got around to it or it may be in unused footage, or deleted scenes.

In that case we'll never find out.

 

[Seven of Five]

Yeah similar but not the one. Never mind. That was the highlight of my day working out how to Print Screen.

Season 6's Lifeline had a few paintings in Zimmerman's lab. No matches, but it's an interesting blend of styles - notably cubist, some geometrical De Stijl shapes with Nouveau palette abstracts, and lots of earth tones. All elements present in our mystery painting. The case mounts!

@Catarina that last one screams (literally) new caption contest image.
