Robin Feld “Arrivals and Departures”

The Painting Center

This event has ended.

The Painting Center presents Robin Feld: Arrivals and Departures in the Main Gallery
In developing the work for Arrivals and Departures, Robin Feld has questioned how real life events
influence one’s art when using the language of abstraction. She postulates on how the subject one
paints can be driven by emotional factors, which interact with a set of visual concerns. The feeling of
work built over time, the use of a buried grid— pouring, blotting, scraping, to reveal layers of paint–
trying to create order out of chaos, continue to be central to her work. Calligraphic lines, which the
artist thinks of as akin to nerve endings, is a point of commonality and continuity. Feld works out of
her studio in Brooklyn, New York. Her work has been shown in spaces such as Drawing Rooms in
Jersey City, the Fountain Art Fair, Paramount Gallery in Long Island City and the Monmouth
Museum. She attended what is now LaGuardia High School, got a BFA at the City College of New
York, and studied with various accomplished painters at the Art Students League.
