Do you have any idea about what type of artwork it is? Are we looking for an oil painting in a major national art gallery, a comic book cover from the 1950s, a contemporary graphic novel etc - what style, what medium, what era? Full colour? photorealistic? Hand drawn or computer generated?
Do you know where/when you saw it? Is it something from Deviantart, a Reddit thread, or from an Instamagram or a Tickety-Tock?
I would swear that I have seen this exact post before. I remember looking myself for it, thought that it sounded interesting.

Oh, that was you, a year back.

Well, I can tell you that doing image searches on major search engines for keywords you mentioned doesn't bring it up, because I did try that last time without luck.
Someone in the thread I linked to mentioned that it looks like it was in the Space Western genre.
It looks like there was also a Space Western comics book series. In some---not all---of the covers, it looks like there was a single, bright red word.

If it looks similar, it might be a cover from that series.
Apparently it was published by the now-defunct Charlton Comics, which did low-budget comics. I'm not sure if there's some database out there that has scans of many different comic book covers, but if so, you might go looking through the covers in that series.
EDIT: Found such a database. Apparently it was a six-issue series, and there are scans of all of the covers.

If the image came from that series, it's not a cover, as it's not in that list.
EDIT2: It looks like there are scans of the pages from that series up here. I'm not going to go through the whole series, but if it looks like the style is right, you might try going through those.
Reminds me of the space man subplot in Doctor who.
Hello, I like Doctor Who the normal amount, what space man subplot? The Impossible Astronaut comes to mind, vaguely, but I fail to see any commonalities other than "astronaut". (tone indicator genuinely confused)
Crowdsource your search for the name of that thing.
