Lucille Nurkse "Beautiful Brooklyn"
Brooklyn Public Library (Central)
This event has ended.
"My art, created in the last decade, celebrates the people in the communities I know. The figure is my guiding motif. When someone's action catches my attention, I use memory and a sketch to reframe that moment and make it ever-present.
I simplify figures and construct space by using blocks of color broken by pattern. I use every possible type of paper-handmade, cut-up watercolors, drawings and prints, fabric, as well as flat Color Aid paper to create texture, movement and emotional tone. For every figure, the challenge is to capture the essential gesture."-Lucille Nurkse
