_________ NOCTURNAL: LIFE IN DARKNESS ________
“SKULLS, BOTANY, AND BATS: JOURNEY THROUGH NATURE’S DARKNESS”
Nocturnal: Life In Darkness
Nocturnal: Life in Darkness, is the collaboration between acclaimed Illustrator
Nicomi “Nix” Turner and Painter Justin Barry. Inspired by what takes place
when the sun goes down, Nocturnal is a fascinating glance into the world at
night and those who dwell in it’s shadows as well as interpreting ‘Night-Nature’
through the eyes of its inhabitants.
The unexplained recent decline in numerous bat colonies, an unseen key to
many eco-structures, compelled Barry to not only paint but adopt, and donate
his efforts to supporting the re-balance of a much needed part of dusk’s landscapes.
“A larger part of this show, a met idealism, is to capture something that we
must all realize and recognize will not be around forever.” Nicomi says, speaking
of her use of conversing flora and fauna. “We both have an undying respect
for the literal and non literal darkness which we represent with ‘Nocturnal’.”
In this collection, Turner’s meticulously detailed dark botanical realism joins
with Barry’s dreamlike story-telling, captured in dusk’s Urban landscapes.
The result is a visually captivating display between contrasting palettes and
engrossing textures, encouraging visitor to explore the collection in new ways
and to question their impact on the night and those non-human dwellers.
