The Jamaica Plain Branch Library, in collaboration with The Friends of the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library and Uforge, is delighted to announce the final installment of its annual rotating art program for 2023. In a celebration of abstract art, the library proudly presents "Michelle Feinberg: Kaleidoscope," featuring the work of Needham-based artist Michelle Lander Feinberg.
Michelle Lander Feinberg, an abstract artist hailing from Massachusetts, is celebrated for her fearless exploration of color, texture, and form. Her captivating artworks have found homes in galleries, stores, restaurants, hospitals, libraries, and offices worldwide. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Michelle's journey is marked by acts of courage, such as kidney donation and fire walking, symbolizing her commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing life's challenges.
In her artist statement, Michelle Feinberg's work becomes a testament to her unyielding passion for bold, expressive color and the boundless potential of abstract art. Each of her creations radiates the profound emotional impact of color, evoking rich moods and atmospheres. She navigates her artistic process with intuition and spontaneity, utilizing bold, vibrant hues and expressive brushstrokes to compose dynamic, attention-grabbing pieces.
Feinberg's art delves into the intricate interplay of color and space, delving deep into the exploration of depth and dimension through layers and juxtaposition. Her paintings extend an invitation to experience the sheer joy and vitality of life, leaving viewers with a palpable sense of excitement and wonder. For the artist, abstract painting serves as a meditative practice, forging a connection with the universal creative energy that unites us all.
Michelle Feinberg shares, "My journey into daily painting began as a means to cope with the grief of losing my brother. In the process, I discovered a profound connection with him through my art, which has been instrumental in my healing journey." Her art, therefore, becomes a profound expression of personal growth and healing, reflecting her indomitable spirit.
