Tina Feingold: Wishful Thinking

She describes her paintings as “mysterious portals into the subconscious, a domain that is immersive, dream-like and surprising.” They are fantastical alternate realities made tangible on canvas, works that explode in bursts of blues, yellows, purples, and greens.  Objects float amidst layers of paint and stenciled marks, like fossils imprinted on colorful botanical forms.  Experiencing one of Feingold’s paintings is akin to allowing the mind to wander into a daydream, and this element of escapism is necessary at times.  Her canvases abstract our sense of reality and blur the lines between the real and the artificial.
