Up to day, the group has as little as 18 members as the art work in fluorescent colors in Fine Art America is very few hardly catching a double digit.    Special light installation acts as a kind of environmental art encompassing exhibition space to generate the spatial coordinate of time into the art work. Combination of black and white light along with the time coordinate the viewer comprehends the different views of the artwork.  The spatial coordinate of the lighting along with the time generates various versions of the painting. A unique mixing of the fluorescent colors with the ordinary colors along with the special light installation produces a result that the human eye comprehends as a series of images from the same painting. Those series of images may differ in color layout or even design.    This unique process of mixing ordinary with fluorescence acrylic colors at the submitted painting determines a technique with potential. Depending on the lighting, the figures of the painting, which are produced with this technique, provides a series of images with figures that differ in hair color, skin color, eye pupil and clothes color. Further to that this technique can be applied to landscapes to provide images of the same landscape at day or night time. Last but not least hidden messages can also be written. All these applications of this technique can be utilized with the only addition of the spatial light coordinate of the combining black and white light.
