"Analogy's Nob" Geometric Abstract Blue Green Mixed Media Oil on Wood

2017

About the Item

Analogy's Nob, 2017, Oil and Gesso on Plywood, 12 x 12 Inches. This painting is currently on view in a one-person exhibition of the artist's work at the Beth Urdang Gallery in Boston. Jean Feinberg is a NY based artist whose works on paper (handmade paper, gouache, and collage) are closely linked to her unique constructions of paint on wood, some of the wood being 'found' and enhanced by the artist's geometry, others of painted plywood to which geometric forms are layered. What sets Feinberg apart is her extraordinary sense of color, placement, and scale, and a quirky approach to materials which elevates the mundane and makes of it something highly personal, surprisingly elegant, and formal. 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.
