AMY FELDMAN: LADY BLUES
about exhibition
Anna Bohman Gallery is pleased to present Lady Blues, the gallery’s fifth exhibition with New York-based artist Amy Feldman. The exhibition brings together a new body of paintings that continues Feldman’s exploration of gesture, the body, and perception, while marking a significant tur toward blue following years of working primarily in gray.
In Lady Blues, blue becomes both a subject and a way of thinking about perception. Feldman’s paintings blur the distinction between the painted and the printed, the handmade and the reproduced. Her new work investigates how we perceive blue across the natural and the artificial–from the light of the sun to the blue light emitted by screens and electronic devices- bringing this tension between the physical and the reproduced into focus. “Looking at the horizon, sometimes the sea becomes the sky and vice versa. They flip-flop into one another. Both appear blue, yet you cannot hold this color in your hand,” Feldman says. “The gray in my work provides a leveling field-a space where difference, contradiction and ambiguity coexist. The blue works hold a quiet gravity in the face of the unknown.”
