Jean Feinberg

1948
(USA) AMERICAN

Jean Feinberg er en amerikansk abstrakt maler som bruker maling, tre, lerret og papir for å utforske skjæringspunktet mellom maleri og objekt. Ved å bruke gjenbrukt tre, konstruerer hun malerier som inkorporerer skulpturelle kvaliteter, og visker ut grensene mellom 2D- og 3D-representasjon. Hun bor og arbeider i New York City.

utdanning

Jean Feinberg fikk sin bachelorgrad i kunst fra Skidmore College i New York og fortsatte med å ta sin mastergrad i maleri fra Hunter College. Feinberg har undervist eller holdt foredrag ved Parsons School of Design, Princeton, Chicago Art Institute og Rhode Island School of Design, blant andre. Hun underviser for tiden i tegning og maleri ved Fashion Institute of Technology i New York City.

Teknikk

Feinberg arbeider med en rekke teknikker og medier, inkludert maleri, papircollage og installasjon. Størstedelen av arbeidet hennes inkluderer påføring av maling, gesso, lerret og andre medier på funnet og reddet tre.

Hennes prosess resulterer i abstrakte malerier, noen ganger kalt konstruksjoner, som bruker geometrisk abstraksjon og frodige, dramatiske farge mønstre for å utforske forholdet mellom farge, materiale og rom.

Verket utfordrer objektive referansepunkter, og fremkaller i stedet meditative kvaliteter og legger til rette for følelsesmessige utforskninger.

inspirasjon

Feinberg henter inspirasjon fra omgivelsene sine, spesielt samspillet mellom lys og farge i Hudson Valley i delstaten New York. Hun blir også veiledet i fargevalgene og komposisjonsbeslutningene sine av tre, malingsprøver og andre funnede materialer hun inkorporerer i konstruksjonene sine.

Inspirert av begreper om landskap, natur, tid, rom og følelser, formidler Feinbergs abstrakte konstruksjoner følelser om partnerskapet mellom menneskeskapte materialisme og mer transcendente elementer av naturen.

Relevante sitater

Jeanette Fintz, abstrakt maler og kunstskribent, skrev om Feinbergs arbeid for The Artful Mind, og sa: “Feinbergs subtilt nyanserte, rustikke, minimalistiske konstruksjoner er i stor grad i tråd med de dyktige abstrakte lerretene hun har stilt ut gjennom sin karriere. Hennes løse, men tankefulle og romlige geometriske stil har alltid vært opptatt av planfarge… Hennes følsomhet for lys, form og linje transformerer…”

Samlinger

Feinbergs verk er inkludert i en rekke både offentlige og private samlinger over hele USA. Hennes arbeid er samlet av kunstsamler og filantrop Werner Kramarsky og er også inkludert i samlingen til Weatherspoon Art Gallery ved University of North Carolina i Greensboro.

Merkelige distinksjoner

Feinbergs arbeid har blitt vurdert i flere fremtredende kunstpublikasjoner, inkludert Artforum, ArtNews, Art International og New York Times. Feinberg har fått tildelt opphold fra MacDowell Colony i New Hampshire, den eldste kunstnerkolonien i USA.

Utstillinger

Hun har i stor grad stilt ut arbeidet sitt over hele Amerika, hovedsakelig på USAs østkyst i en rekke solo- og gruppeutstillinger.
