Biography
Robin Feld is an abstract painter based in Brooklyn, NY. She works primarily in oils and watercolor and is excited to be experimenting with monoprinting.
Abstract expressionism, minimalism, Japanese and Chinese landscape painting, and calligraphy are strong influences on her painting as are the grids and jumbles of Manhattan and Brooklyn and the line, shape, color, and form that she “collects” while working with watercolors in more rural settings (Prospect Park and beyond...).
Feld has a BFA from CUNY and has studied anatomy and painting at the Art Student's League in Manhattan. In recent years, her work has been shown at The Painting Center (Chelsea, NY), the Lemon Gallery at Kent State/Stark; the Monmouth Museum, and Victory Hall Drawing Rooms (Jersey City, NJ). She is currently preparing for a solo show upcoming in the spring of 2021 at The Painting Center.

Artist statement
As an abstract painter, I am interested in what happens in the world of a painting when serenity is invaded by a chaotic jumble of randomness.
There is a moment or a series of moments that are pivotal in the creation of a painting... perhaps the same can be said, in the creation of living of a life. To differing degrees, we go along in our grids, in our bands of color, but inevitably, the unexpected happens and there is nothing to be done but cope as best we can.
In that spirit I am pouring, scraping, and blotting paint, creating a kind of managed chaos. After the rush of adrenaline subsides, it is then my job to meditate on the results and work with them until the painting feels "right." I want the marks on the canvas to talk to each other, for the layers to interact, for the process of how the painting was built to be apparent.
Abstract expressionism, minimalism, Japanese and Chinese landscape painting, and calligraphy are strong influences on my painting as are the grids and jumbles of Manhattan and Brooklyn and the line, shape, color, and form that I “collect” while working with watercolor outdoors.
