When you turn on the lights, Frank Wilson’s murals disappear before your eyes. You blink your eyes in wonderment as you stare at a blank wall where a moment ago there was a three dimension mural. Turn the lights off so the room is pitch black and his mysterious murals appear! What is behind this contradiction to what seems to defy the laws of physics and light?

The pigment is rare earth phosphors that absorb photon light energy when the lights are on and release the light energy in the dark.

But Wilson is quick to point out that these are not ordinary craft store type paints that glow a faint yellow-green for ten minutes and then fade away. Wilson explains that he spends between $2000 to $3000 per gallon for the finest, brightest and longest lasting phosphors available to an artist...
