Acrylics, Paper
Titled "Phage Factory," this acrylic painting offers a vivid depiction of cutting-edge research in bacteriophage engineering, a field to which Fernbach has made significant contributions. Featured as the cover art for a prestigious issue of CELL, the painting represents the core concepts of a groundbreaking paper on the genetic engineering of bacteriophage "binding modules."
Set in a futuristic factory, the artwork combines scientific precision with artistic imagination. A central conveyor belt emerges from a complex machine, carrying vividly colored binding modules in a systematic flow. Robotic arms meticulously assemble bacteriophage scaffolds onto these modules, symbolizing the precision and high-throughput nature of modern microbial engineering.
"Phage Factory" goes beyond illustration; it serves as a visual narrative of the technological advancements in bacteriophage engineering and therapeutics. The painting is also deeply personal, reflecting the artist’s own doctoral research and passion for the int
