Live Science features the work of artist Greg Dunne who also has a Ph.D. in neuroscience. He paints neurons and brain stems in the style of Asian art and they’re quite beautiful.
He uses various techniques, from ink-blowing to micro-etching.
It’s for sale, and you can find out more about his art and designs on his website here: http://www.gregadunn.com/

These are gorgeous. I really like this one:

I’d love to hear some scientifically illiterate modern art aficionado explain the “meaning” of those strange and abstract shapes.
If love it even more if I could then explain to him or her that those are fairly accurate depictions of neurons.
I have to admit that the second one bothers me because there is some dendron in front of it.
Looks Klimty.
Maybe that’s why I like it. I really like Klimt.
Very cool!
Oh, my… I really love the first one.
I do really like the “Neural Circuit Board.”
Lovely!
He was exposing his artwork at the last Society for Neuroscience meeting. A microetchings like “Brainbow Hippocampus”, which come with special LED illumination, is of unbelievable beauty and complexity.
He had a puff piece in American Scientist a couple of months (or numbers, it’s a bimonthly) ago. I can see the appeal, but my wallet is not bestirred by the fluttering of it’s internal moths.
Stunning, many thanks.
