Robin Feld: Making tracks

Exhibition Dates: may 23 - june 17, 2023

Reception: thursday, may 25, 5PM - 8pm

The Painting Center is pleased to announce Making Tracks, an exhibition of new paintings by Robin Feld. The exhibition will present 11 paintings made between 2021 and the present.  

Feld has created a body of work that has in common a linear element that burrows and weaves its way through the evolving layers of shape and form found in her nature-based abstraction, exploring the influence that line quality has on a painting.  She describes this linear element as a pulse, a representation of motion, a segment of energy, a skeleton, a structure, a mysterious force, a bending of musical notation. 

In Buried Line, Calmer Vista Feld explores the use of a line that creates a delicate pathway or footprint that sneaks, scurries and pirouettes across the canvas;  periodically diving into larger forms and re-emerging to continue its journey. 

Howling, in contrast, has a darker, more expressionistic line, heavier in nature, which forms the skeleton, soul and spirit of the painting and defines its movement and structure. 

Ghosts of a linear grid emerge in Weather Report 2, providing a slight visual shift / breaking point for the sinuous lines / forms that tumble across the canvas.  The calligraphic line weaves in and out of the layers of the painting, almost inseparable from the larger forms. 

Feld works out of her studio in Brooklyn, New York. Her work has been shown at the Painting Center in New York, Drawing Rooms in Jersey City, Kent State University, Curate NYC, Art Fair 14C, Paramount Gallery at LIU, and the Monmouth Museum. She has been featured in Jason McCoy Gallery's online Drawing Challenges XV & XVI. Feld attended the High School of Music and Art (LaGuardia High School) in Manhattan, received her BFA at the City College of New York, and studied at the Art Students League.
