TWINS @ NIGHT

Night does not show things it suggests them.  It disturbs and surprises us with its strangeness.  It liberates forces within us which are dominated by our reason during the daytime.

ARNO KLEIN


BARRETT KLEIN


ARNO & BARRETT @ NIGHT:   Identical twins are similar in profound ways while remaining  unique in all respects.  In these two portraits Arno and Barrett are surrounded by the energy of the heavens filled with many specimens of amazing insects.  Everything is in equal measure.  Find a beetle from the family Cerambycidae in one drawing and you will eventually find another of a different species in the other.  The stories balance one another - two parts of one puzzle.

Some people consider themselves day people and others will tell you they are best activated at night.  I would consider myself in the latter category.  I don't believe these two men are limited to any hour on the clock or season of the year.
