Rachel Feinstein: Maiden, Mother, Crone
No fact without fiction, light without darkness, tranquility without chaos.
The first survey dedicated to the work of New York-based artist Rachel Feinstein featuring three decades the artist’s work in sculpture, painting, and video, as well as a panoramic wallpaper, a new commission, and her models for sculpture.
Rachel Feinstein‘s art is underpinned by dualities: masculinity and femininity or good and evil are echoed in her formal investigation into balance and precariousness or positive and negative space. Her subjects are also are drawn from oppositions and tensions: religion and fairy tales, high European craft and low American kitsch, the needs of an artist and the needs the family. She borrows characters from biblical and folk sources as well as objects from material culture, deconstructed and reimagined, suggesting that there is no fact without fiction, light without darkness, tranquility without chaos.
