“Star Trek” is taking art into a whole new frontier at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con with a new exhibition that honors the 50th anniversary of the science fiction franchise.

The exhibition, called “Star Trek: 50 Artists. 50 Years,” debuted at SDCC 2016 in the Michael J. Wolf Fine Arts and includes a stunning array of Trek-inspired art, including a piece by the late Leonard Nimoy — who originated the Spock role — entitled “Hand in Vulcan Gesture.”

“I’m so glad that there’s something of his here to contribute to the 50 years and 50 pieces of artwork,” Nimoy’s son Adam Nimoy told StarTrek.com at the exhibition’s opening. “I mean, the stuff is just outstanding. And, seeing so much Spock imagery, well, I’m used to it. I love it, I’m still excited by it.”

Here’s a few examples of the Trek art in the exhibit:
