You're right, the universe as a whole isn't too visually interesting. But perhaps God has different definitions of "art" and "beauty" than humans - especially as He probably doesn't depend on sense organs like "eyes" and "hands" the way we do. Maybe He finds beauty in the elegance of mathematics, or the intricacy of subatomic particles and their interactions.
Also, I'm quite pleased to have found this thread, in particular because I've always thought charts of isotopes of the elements - like this one - look just like a stroke from some celestial paintbrush:

Aren't you Begging the Question there? It doesn't look like a paintbrush stroke anymore than it looks like a skid mark
Don't worry, it was all in good fun. Although...who says a skid mark can't be fine art?
