About the Item
ADDITIONAL PHOTOS OF THIS WORK WILL BE SENT UPON REQUEST:
Jean Feinberg is a NY based artist whose wall constructions - paintings on found wood and paintings on painted plywood - are extraordinarily fresh, rather quirky, and elegant. What sets Feinberg apart is her unique sensibility which is at once quite formal and knowledgeable, drawing upon the great traditions of geometric painting in this country and overseas, as well as imparting a very personal aesthetic which is lighthearted and fun. Feinberg's subject is the subtle distinctions between materials and surfaces, these constructions have a very personal aesthetic which is at once lighthearted, fun, and seriously engaged in the history of geometric abstraction.
For many years the artist's extraordinary sense of color dominated, however in this most recent body of work which is limited to an investigation of neutrals as collages (plywood, gesso, found wood, black, white and gray paint, gauze, burlap, muslin ) placement and scale and her approach to materials elevates the mundane into works of art which are exceptionally engaging and sophisticated, with a rhythm and depth of perception that lend themselves to conversations amongst each other. Measuring approximately 24 x 24 inches each, these 3-dimensional constructions are fresh and sparkling, with whites reading as light, blacks engagingly dramatic accents, and solids and washes of neutrals bridging the gaps in between:

Artist’s Statement:
"A hybrid form between painting and sculpture has been a constant throughout my work, as well as working with non-objective reductive forms. That means letting the relationships between shape, color, and texture tell the story or present themselves directly. With few exceptions my work is wall oriented, modest in size, and focused on the specific characteristics of the materials I use, wood and oil paint, and foregrounding those. The wood support is clearly a part of the work whose patterns, textures, color, or history are an integral presence. The paint application is uninflected, drawing attention to its density and allowing a deep light saturation. The painted areas are not collage, though they often appear that way. More recent work has gravitated to black and white, whereas all the previous color work had no black admixtures and rarely if ever used color straight from the tube. Compositions in my work are found in the array of papers on my working tables. Chance and first impulses are a large part of the process, my preference being to find rather than invent. Those choices do not feel arbitrary, but are striking, mysterious, and honest to me."
Jean Feinberg began exhibiting her work in NY in Soho in the 1970s as an invited artist at the women’s gallery A.I.R. and at the then new Mary Boone Gallery. She has since been included in many solo and group shows at the National Academy Museum, the Weatherspoon Art Gallery, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Princeton Museum of Art, Angles Gallery in California, Stefan Stux Gallery, the Jersey City Museum, Galeria Durban in Venezuela, and the John Davis Gallery. She has been represented for over 20 years by the Beth Urdang Gallery in Wellesley, MA.
Feinberg is the recipient of grants, fellowships, and residencies from the National Endowment for the Arts, Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, and the Edward Albee Foundation. Works are represented in public and private collections in the US and Europe including the Weatherspoon Art Gallery, Parasol Press, Werner Kramarsky, Best Products, IBM Corporation, Amerata-Hess, and Champion International.
Reviews of her exhibitions have appeared Art in America, Artforum, Arts, Art International, ArtNews, The New York Times, and The Boston Globe among others.
The artist holds a BS in Fine Arts from Skidmore College and an MA in Painting from Hunter College. She was formerly an Assistant Professor in Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and after many years of living and working in Tribeca in NYC she currently resides in Upstate New York.

Jean Feinberg
Jean Feinberg is an American abstract painter who uses paint, wood, canvas and paper to explore the intersection of painting and object. Using salvaged wood, she constructs paintings that incorporate sculptural qualities, blurring the lines between 2D and 3D representation. She lives and works in New York City.
Feinberg works with a variety of techniques and mediums, including painting, paper collage and installation. The majority of her work incorporates the application of paint, gesso, canvas and other mediums to found and salvaged wood. Her process results in abstract paintings, sometimes called constructions, which utilize geometric abstraction and lush, dramatic color patterns to explore relationships between color, material and space.
The work defies objective reference points, instead evoking meditative qualities and facilitating emotional explorations. Feinberg gains inspiration from her environment, in particular, the interplay of light and color in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. She is also guided in her color choices and compositional decisions by wood, paint chips and other found materials she incorporates into her constructions.
Inspired by notions of landscape, nature, time, space and feeling, Feinberg's abstract constructions communicate feelings about the partnership of human-made materialism with more transcendent elements of nature.
