A new mural joins the crabs and mini-golf at Brooklyn Crab
A new 15-foot-by-25-foot mural adorns the side wall behind Brooklyn Crab, next to the mini-golf course and picnic tables. Inspired by deep sea divers, the pastel pink, blue, yellow and black painting prominently features a giant diving helmet surrounded by abstract splotches of paint and black lines branching out in lines and loops and dots, like broken bits of machinery and air bubbles.
Artist Brad Robson explains the image as “a nice balance of figurative line work with more expressionist, abstract stuff,” all creating a nautical theme to go with Brooklyn Crab’s crab shack atmosphere and waterfront location.
The mural’s title, “Deep Sea Divers,” he said, was triggered by the fact that one of his favorite bands, Something For Kate, has a song by the same name that even mentions Brooklyn in its lyrics.
