“Nick of Newkirk Liquors“

The Vendors of Newkirk series by Brooklyn artist Nina Talbot presents portraits of immigrant shopkeepers from Newkirk Plaza, a multicultural neighborhood in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. Talbot paints the immigrant workers in their stores in her Flatbush neighborhood. Elements of the storefront signs, items sold and portraits are woven together in a colorful and upbeat tapestry-like format.
