Fort Greene 2018

Salman Toor's 2018 painting, "Fort Greene," depicts a scene of everyday life in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The painting features three figures, two of whom are standing on the steps of a brownstone, while the third is obscured inside the building. Toor's work is known for its intimate and often poignant depictions of contemporary life, particularly the experiences of South Asian Americans. The painting's simple composition and muted color palette create a sense of quiet observation, inviting the viewer to contemplate the unspoken moments and emotions of the scene.
