Description
The Galacticos Urban Nightlife is a 140x80cm photographic print on 4mm tempered glass, depicting an astronaut in full spacesuit seated between three alien-masked figures on a public transport carriage. The composition combines detailed astronaut suit textures, theatrical alien prosthetics and everyday transit seating into a single surrealist frame, printed directly onto the glass surface using UV-cured inks that bond to the material.
Designed for home offices, media rooms, hallways and contemporary living spaces where visual humour and conversation-starting imagery are wanted, the print measures 140cm wide by 80cm tall with a 4mm glass thickness. The tempered glass surface is glossy, which amplifies colour saturation and contrast when viewed straight-on but can reflect ambient light sources at oblique angles. Wall-mounting hardware is included in the box, and the 11.2kg weight requires secure fixing into masonry or a load-rated stud wall.
The print is part of Schuller's Urban Nightlife photography collection, which pairs science-fiction and fantasy characters with mundane urban settings. The astronaut's white NASA-style suit contrasts with the muted blues and greys of the transit interior, while the alien masks reference B-movie creature effects from the 1970s-80s. The glass medium gives the image a depth and luminosity that printed canvas or paper versions cannot match, but the reflective surface means the print works best on walls opposite windows rather than walls that face direct sunlight or overhead lighting.
The Galacticos print is shipped flat-packed with protective corner guards. The glass is tempered for impact resistance but still requires careful handling during unpacking and installation. Once mounted, the print sits approximately 15mm proud of the wall surface depending on the mounting bracket configuration used.

Frequently Asked
What wall fixing is needed for the 11.2kg weight?
The print includes mounting hardware but requires wall plugs and screws rated for at least 15kg into masonry, or fixing into load-rated studs on plasterboard walls. Two fixing points are recommended for stability given the 140cm width.
Does the glass surface reflect light?
Yes. The tempered glass has a glossy finish that amplifies colour and contrast when viewed straight-on, but reflects ambient light sources at oblique angles. The print works best on walls opposite windows rather than walls facing direct sunlight or overhead lighting.
How is the glass cleaned?
Wipe gently with a soft microfibre cloth and standard glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cloths or scouring products that could scratch the UV-cured ink layer bonded to the glass surface.
Can the print be hung in portrait orientation?
The image composition is designed for landscape orientation. The mounting hardware and reinforcement layout are configured for 140cm-wide horizontal hanging, and rotating to portrait may create stress points on the glass during installation.
