This research project aims to extend the scope of fine art printing on glass using innovative photoluminescent enamels. This paper demonstrates how these newly created materials, developed by a multidisciplinary team of artists and chemists, can be used as ink to print on glass, both with direct methods and through transfer papers (decals). The methodology used involved studio-based experiments and sampling tests, aiming to verify the ease of adopting identical printing approaches to screen printing, intaglio and photopolymer techniques on paper and glass, and evaluating whether the extent of techniques and respective marks produced were compatible with the application of luminescent enamels. Photoluminescent glass inks have a very attractive aesthetic effect for their ability to change colour and re-emit light after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This represents a unique opportunity for artists wishing to work on the fields of light, colour, perception and visuality. The unique features of light-emitting images are discussed from a conceptual and aesthetic realm in two installation projects which seek to shape visual experience, combining the visual with the haptic. |
