How the Galaxy Glows
John Poppleton’s stunning artwork features a person painted to look like the galaxy, using fluorescent paint that glows brilliantly under blacklight. He’s a renowned body painter known for his mesmerizing “Bodyscapes,” where he transforms human bodies into vivid, celestial scenes. His use of black light and fluorescent paint creates a magical, otherworldly effect that captivates viewers.
Galaxies are massive systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity. The Milky Way, our galaxy, contains over 100 billion stars and is just one of billions in the universe. John’s art beautifully highlights the awe-inspiring connection between humanity and the stars.
