Please keep in mind the lighting issues in the environment we’re designing for and we’ll be able to help you choose the best and most effective UV art style for that particular space. Some styles of UV art can work in almost any area but the darker the space can become and the more control over the light you have, the wider the range of style options. We will design, formulate paint and produce the art based on the lighting spec. Let’s look at each specific UV Art Style and it’s best use….

Day to Night Style

As the name states, this style represent art that goes from a Day look to Sunrise / Sunset and to a Night look or any of those combination. The transition looks work with the colored light to achieve the desired effect. While most people go Day / Sunset/ Night, some start with the night look and go to the day look etc…. Great for landscapes or city scenes. This style has a very natural or realistic feel to it and almost always gets a coo or ahs from the audience when the changes take place. Day to Night scenery is very pretty to look at and you have many lighting options. You need a fairly dark area for it to work best but will work with moderate amounts of light present. As always the darker the better.

Dual Image Style

Like a Day to Night, this style can easily takes other colored lighting but the invisible pigments which comprise the dual image part of the painting are very sensitive to light so a controlled lighting environment is the best use of this technique. The looks can be very dramatic as you really can completely change from one scene to another or have aspects appearing, changing, transforming, disappearing etc. I’ve seen our Dual Image backdrops work just fine in concert situations where it was not totally dark but low lit. Because of the power of the change with a Dual Image style, the crowd response is definitely a Wow!

Complete Invisible Style

As the name suggests, this style is completely invisible. We can actually paint an entire scene with full depth and richness of any color and have it be completely unseen until lit with UV lighting. We can create this style on any lighter toned background or add low contrast patterns or gradation.

Single Image Style

Single images are the most under utilized of all our styles. You really can have a fluorescent painting and not have it appear Day Glo™. In its best use, this style is used in areas that are low lit but you can have moderate amounts of ambient light present. By lighting with UV illumination you add a subtle but effective quality to the art which is always emitting light.

UV  3-D Style (please view with Chromadepth™ 3-D glasses)

We love to create 3-D UV scenery because it's both fun to design and paint and it’s amazing when installed. Great for attractions where maximum impact is required at minimal cost. We’ve done many of these at Family Entertainment Centers, Haunted Houses etc... Everyone who experience UV 3-D loves it! You can also incorporate our day to night and dual image styles and still get the 3-D effect. The Chromadepth™glasses required for the 3-D effect are lightweight and clear so they are easy to deal with and not an issue as far as vision clarity. Remember that we design and paint figurative 3-D scenery and not just graphic shapes.
