Education

Amy Feldman received a BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island in 2003. Her honors concentration was in art history, theory, and criticism. She then attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey where she received an MFA in Painting in 2008. She subsequently attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture for a nine-week residency in 2009.

Work

Feldman's work has been shown in galleries and museums since 2008. Her work is planned, and spontaneously painted with loosely geometric, graphic gestures in whites to dark grays on various whites to gray grounds.[1] The stark contrast between figure and ground in Feldman’s paintings is initially arresting, then subsequently complicated, exploratory, and meditative.[2] Feldman’s bold, urgent, and large scale abstract paintings are often anthropomorphic and darkly humorous with psychologically charged imagery.[3][4][5] Her stripped down abstract sign system addresses, among other things, topology and morphology, and the perception and transmission of information. Feldman's artistic influences range from Cubism to the works of Henri Matisse,[6] Jean Arp, Ellsworth Kelly, Shirley Jaffe, Mary Heilmann[7] and Robert Ryman.[8] Feldman is represented by ANNAELLE Gallery in Stockholm, BlainSouthern in Berlin and London, Brand New Gallery in Milan, and Ratio 3 in San Francisco.

Feldman's work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art[9] in Chicago, the Sheldon Museum of Art[10] in Lincoln, Nebraska and the Hall Art Foundation | Schloss Derneburg Museum[11] in Derneburg, Germany. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
