Amy Feldman’s formalist paintings depict bold organic shapes on large-scale canvases. Feldman creates spontaneously painted works with loosely geometric, graphic gestures in light to dark grays on various white grounds. Her paintings are abstract and often anthropomorphic and darkly humorous. Feldman’s artistic influences range from Cubism to the works of Jean Arp, Ellsworth Kelly, Shirley Jaffe, and Mary Heilmann.
