There's new work from artist Alvaro Barrington on view at Nicola Vassell in Chelsea. Barrington was born in Caracas to parents from Grenada in Haiti. He was raised between Brooklyn and the Caribbean, and his new show, Alvaro Barrington: Island Life, references his Caribbean roots, specifically his paintings of the hibiscus flower. Barrington joins us to discuss the exhibition, which is on view through December 21.
