About the Item
Gentle, 2017, Oil on Found Wood 12 x 12 x .5 Inches. This painting is currently on view in a one-person exhibition of the artist's works at the Beth Urdang Gallery in Boston.
Jean Feinberg is a NY based artist whose geometric abstractions, 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 has a fabulous sense of color, placement and scale, and her approach to materials elevates the mundane into works of art which are beautifully engaging and sophisticated.
Artist’s Statement:
“My work is abstract and non-objective, characterized by a sparse sense of geometry and a lush, rich, and complex color. My love of the Hudson Valley with its particular light and color has had a profound effect on my life and work. Landscape light and weather, place and incidental moment, joy and wonder in color and color mixing/seeing are my ongoing inspiration.
Though the term constructions may best describe what I do, I consider the works more related to painting than sculpture because of the frontal orientation meant to be seen on the wall, and the importance of color and color relationships. My interest in the intersection between painting and object, with work that calls attention to its physicality, has been an ongoing characteristic of my work throughout my painting life.
In the current work, the salvaged wood is often origin and/or counterpoint to the color interventions, which stand clearly defined in opaque, matte, and uninflected paint application. Color notations or the use of found color in the form of paint chips or colored papers have become a foundational part of my working process despite the fact that the decisions about color are intuitive.”
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 Boston.
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 is currently an Assistant Professor in Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in 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.
