I am not an artist, but it seems like visual art could illustrate scope insensitivity and neglectedness. For instance, represent a relatively small amount of current lives and a huge amount of money going towards them, and then a huge number of future lives in a very small amount of money going towards them. Similarly with pets versus livestock (like ACE’s graphs posted about recently on the forum). Poverty would be a little more difficult, but maybe one could use the number of people in developed countries making under $10 a day and the amount of money that flows towards them, versus the number of people in less-developed countries making under $10 a day and the amount of money that flows towards them.
Kurzgesagt communicates some complex ideas using visualisations and reframing which are also quite effective, and possibly could learn from. Their video on time is a good example of this.

A few nice examples I’ve seen along these lines:
ACE’s graphs on how relatively neglected farm animal welfare is.
Wait But Why on putting time in perspective.
A bunch of art on space, of which this clip of the virgo supercluster is an example.
And my favourite - ‘If the Moon Were Only 1 Pixel—a tediously accurate scale model of the solar system’.
