Opening on Wednesday, November 14th, 2018 at Abend Gallery’s Sugarcube Building location in Denver, Colorado is artist Lindsey Kustusch’s phenomenal solo exhibition “After Dark.”
From the gallery: “In the city, the sun’s rays set behind an evening sky obscured by the prism of neon lights, store windows, and an endless sea of dwellings, unveiling a landscape lit by the glow of millions. The air cools, the horizon softens, and all that’s left in focus is the present moment. There’s a sense of magic and a feeling of possibility. The darkness of night is not the end of a day, but merely the beginning. Our time is what we make of it, and the city is an ever-evolving and mesmerizing reminder of exactly that, especially after dark. This series captures the urban landscape in its finest hour: the nighttime hustle. Rain or shine, the city bustles with energy, illuminating the air with fluorescent potential. Just like the essence of art itself, the evening hours offer us a chance to see our world differently, and the urban landscape is not only home but a place of infinite creative interpretation.”

“From Deserts of Africa to the Jungles of Asia, each bead represented a specific culture recorded through her eyes. Her experiences, the food, the love all encapsulated in a single bead and a mixture of melodies from different culture played softly as the beads, one by one, permanently fused together on her dreadlocks. . . What’s the deal everyone! So, I created this drawing using a reference of my friend @ms.tnicoleI always found her hair designs very inspiring and I told her many times that I was going to use it, but never did until now. Haha On top of that, I also wanted to tag along with her hashtag #doitfortheculture She’s a hell of an artist and I think you guys might get inspired by her drive and crazy skills! I hope you like this piece @ms.tnicole.”
