This gouache paint on Japanese paper is a result of working with the accidental arrangements of found colored papers that are in piles all over Feinberg's studio.
She uses “found” papers as part of her oil painting process on larger pieces. These piles of found papers around the studio have become the means of making work on paper by using them as her starting point.
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.
