ATOMIC CANVAS

Artists have played a vital role in confronting the nuclear threat, shaping it into forms we can see, hear and feel. Through their work, they have captured its dangers, its absurdities, its emotional weight, and the ever-present sense of impending nuclear catastrophe.

This collection offers a glimpse into those efforts—spanning both past and present. Some pieces are contemporary responses, created as visual dialogues with the bomb itself, while others reach back to the moments when the first flashes of destruction reshaped the world.

Together, they serve as powerful reminders of what has been risked, what endures, and what could still be lost.
