4 Abstract Images By Amy Feldman Catch Our Eyes
Review:
Amy Feldman's work features a conversation between the physical and formal language of abstract painting, as seen in the interactions she creates between the figure and ground. Drips of paint that break the boundary from the figure of the painting into the ground of the canvas are unplanned yet embraced by the artist.
Feldman has developed an abstract sign system that alludes to systems of writing and the transmission of information, using a reduced palette to strip away associations and limitations that many colours would introduce to the painting. The bulbous, sketchy and irregular forms that she paints are just familiar enough to be reminiscent yet elusive enough to dodge literal decoding. Yet a clear allusion to the body and to Feldman’s position as female painter persists in the work.
