ROCHELLE FEINSTEIN
PARIS-MONTAIGNE

BORN IN 1947, ROCHELLE FEINSTEIN IS A LONGSTANDING AND DEEPLY RESPECTED MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK ART COMMUNITY
WHOSE WORK AND IDEAS ABOUT ABSTRACTION HAVE INFLUENCED GENERATIONS OF ARTISTS. OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES,
SHE HAS DEFLATED THE DOGMAS OF MODERNISM WITH HUMOR AND VERVE, LIBERALLY BORROWING FROM DIFFERENT
SCHOOLS OF PAINTING, AS WELL AS OTHER MEDIUMS, INCLUDING DRAWING, PHOTOGRAPHY, PRINTMAKING, SCULPTURE, VIDEO,
AND INSTALLATION. THOUGH IT TAKES MYRIAD FORMS, HER SINGULAR PROJECT ALWAYS CENTERS PAINTING WITHIN CULTURE
AT LARGE. SHE MOVES FREELY THROUGH THE HISTORY OF LATE 20TH-CENTURY PAINTING, REJOICING IN MATERIALITY WHILE
POKING HOLES IN THE NOTION OF PURE PAINTING.
