I'm With Her: Rochelle Feinstein

Possessing an extensive painting lexicon, Feinstein employs an array of media from silkscreen, photography and assemblage, to abstract, expressive painting. These combined material processes are applied to an appropriative practice that cross-references the historical with the vernacular, and the mythologies of art history and popular culture. Sourcing and reconstituting found visual material, Feinstein includes text, personal photography and even self-cannibalises past work. 'I'm with Her' showcases a deliberately a-stylistic yet deeply personal body of work, vacillating between earnestness and irreverence. Recent awards include the Guggenheim Fellowship and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellowship. Having received a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1975 and an MFA from the University of Minnesota in 1978, Feinstein was appointed to the Yale faculty in 1994 and is currently professor of painting/printmaking. 152 colour and b/w illustrations
