Future Present, Space City, Space Port, Portals and Black Gold

Filled with “spaceships, spaceports and people living in space cities”, Julian Poon’s fantastical work is a futuristic vision of utopia that celebrates the human spirit of ingenuity. According to Poon, “I am showing a futuristic image of how a new world would look and how we can have a sustainable environment for all living things to live harmoniously.” Inspired by the work of various artists and historical architecture, “especially old buildings and churches, Star Wars and science fiction”, Poon revels in mixing and clashing his many muses and influences with keen and obsessive attention to detail.
