Jean Feinberg
'Ragged' Abstract Geometric Wall Piece Wood/Paint/Textile in Black, White, Grays

2022

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: "Ragged" Oil, Gesso, Muslin on Wood Panels 24 x 24 Inches 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.

Mixed Media Textile Assemblage Collage Painting on Wood Yanira Collado, Miami
Located in Surfside, FL
Yanira Collado (Dominican, American, 1975 ) "Que Ya Estan En El Olvido" Mixed Media unique fabric and painting assemblage collage on plywood Textile, clothing and found material on a custom-made frame. COA signed by the artist on 11/27/2020. Provenance: Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, where Collado was a resident artist. DIMENSIONS: H: 30" W: 24" As a child, Collado traveled between social structures: from Brooklyn, New York where she was born; to the Dominican Republic; to Miami, where her mother worked to become a tailor. Her use of construction materials summons the perception of a displaced personal and public history. She is a Caribbean African American artist with a Feminist leaning. In her practice, Collado displays an awareness of language conveyed through a keen analysis of identity, the latter referenced in her use of reclaimed literary texts and textiles, simultaneously opposed by various construction materials: wood, concrete, masonry brick, iron, and drywall. Materials with inherent geographic histories, processes, and economies imply varying degrees of personalized and public memory. "My connections are grounded to an alternate imagination: a Caribbean imagination and an alchemic consciousness. The Dominican Republic is a culturally rich country. Our musical narratives, folkloric traditions, oral histories, spiritual and supernatural beliefs are complex and embedded in our everyday life. All these components shaped my perceptions, sensibilities, and life experiences. I am always seeing the world through a Caribbean lens". Her artist residency fellowships include Bridge Red Art Center, North Miami, FL (2013-present), Project Row Houses, Houston, TX (2018), Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, FL (2019 – present), and the Joan Mitchell Foundation residency in New Orleans, LA (2020). She was awarded a South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship in 2021, and Ellie Creator Grant from Oolite in 2019, first place in the 2013 South Florida Biennial at the Art and Cultural Center/Hollywood, FL, and a Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship in 2018. Her work has been featured in group shows around the country including Perez Art Museum, Miami, FL; El Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; PRIZM Art Fair, Miami, FL; Storage Project Space, New York, NY; Oolite Arts, Miami Beach, FL; Project Row Houses, Houston, TX; Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, FL; Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Florida International University, Miami, FL; The Franklin, Chicago, IL; Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL; and NOVA University, Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Collado’s work was pictured in the Artforum Critic’s Pick, accompanying the review of Fragment, a group exhibition at Emerson Dorsch. In 2016, Collado had a one-person exhibit at the Museum of Art + Design at Miami Dade College, in collaboration with Bridge Red Studios. She had solo exhibitions with Dimensions Variable, Under the Bridge and Far Side Gallery in 2018. In 2019, an interview with her and Onajide Shabaka, mediated by Ryan N. Dennis, was published in BOMB Magazine. Her work is in the collections of Perez Art Museum Miami and El Museo del Barrio. Collado lives and works in North Miami, FL.
