"Lupus Nocte" by @nb.artistry for #abqupwithpaint π . . . "NoΓ© Barnett's work has always been about changing perspective. The most recent muse has been the subject of light and darkness, sparking questions about what individuals think and feel in relation to the dark. As humans we'll do anything to stay safe and secure, removing any ambiguity and pain. When this happens and becomes a pattern it stunts growth. That place outside of your comfort zone and realm of understanding is what he has labeled darkness, both metaphorical and literal. This darkness, whether physical, mental, spiritual or emotional, is the place where you strengthen, learn, expand, and empathize. In this piece you see at first glance the black panel and blue eyes. You might notice something else is there but itβs easily visible nor visually striking. However, once light is shined, what was once coy is now brazen, shining brighter than anything else. Causing you both to shine light on something you previously though nothing of and to see that the darkest, most hidden things are often the most beautiful" . . . #WEARETHISCITY #WEAREABQ #iamburque #weabq #nmtrue #newmexicotrue #abqartist #abqart #dukecity #burque #colorandcreativity #whyabq #trueabq #abqofficial #onealbuquerque #oneabq #abqpeople #wearedukecity #ABQ #artist #art #purenm #nm #newmexicosfinest #newmexicopride #wearebeautiful #youarebeautiful #albuquerque #welcometoalbuquerque (at Albuquerque, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BttyhNHgJaO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vzn4tsytjon7
