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.
Education
Jean Feinberg earned her BS in Fine Arts from Skidmore College in upstate New York and went on to earn her Master of Art in painting from Hunter College. Feinberg has taught or lectured at Parsons School of Design, Princeton, the Chicago Art Institute, and the Rhode Island School of Design, among others.

Technique
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.
Inspiration
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.

Her loose, but thoughtful and spatial geometric style has always been concerned with planar color…Her sensitivity to light, shape, and line transforms…”
