Van Glow Loves your work
You saved him, Bundaberg! Thanks to you, Van Glow can finally see himself in a bright future: lighting up the world’s biggest art galleries with his luminous craft.
Van Glow will go on to pioneer a new art movement of glow-in-the dark self-portraits, capturing a sense of the inner self that can only be observed after dark. Most of his contemporaries who try to mimic this style will fall short, painstakingly detailing their mostly-black canvases before realising that they haven’t illuminated anything worth sharing about themselves.
But for Van Glow, each portrait shines more light on his true persona, gradually revealing the nucleus of his being. He hopes one day you might get to visit one of these galleries and meet him in a whole new light. Just don’t ask him about his fission statement or he’ll be sure to talk your ear off.
