Blacklight art is a type of art that is created to be viewed under ultraviolet or "black" light. When viewed under this type of light, certain colors and pigments fluoresce and create a glowing effect that is both surreal and captivating. Blacklight art can be created using a variety of mediums, including paint, markers, and even textiles. The use of blacklight art is often associated with a variety of counterculture movements, including psychedelic and rave culture, and is often used in environments such as nightclubs, music festivals, and other similar events. Many people find blacklight art to be cool and visually striking due to the vibrant, otherworldly colors that are produced under UV light.
