Art that never sleeps

Richard has spent the last twelve months perfecting his groundbreaking photoluminescence artwork.

He has created his own paints, formulating a concoction of phosphorus pigments and a variety of adhesives.

Each painting has the ability to capture the light emission from the absorption of photons. This in turn typically occurs when other photons are re-radiated.

He has literally created artwork that glows in the dark.

His aim has been to create a series that can be viewed in different stages - paintings that change with light.

Experimenting with ultra violet, natural and absent light. He has effectively accomplished his desire to illuminate the darkness.
