Penny Feuerstein Opens Art Show at Temple Sholom

Well Known Chicago Artist And Temple Sholom Congregant Penny Feuerstein Will Be Showing In The Mendelson Gallery At Temple Sholom From Oct. 30th Through Dec. 9th 2009. The Focus Of This Show Is The Generative Nature Of My Existence. And To Quote The Artist On Her Vision Of This Show: “two Questions Drive My Work: how Does Analog Talk To Digital? And…how Does The Bit Give Voice To The Atom? while Paint Lives In The Analog World Of Matter And Atoms, The Computer Calls The Digital World Its Home. My Work Is A Dialogue Between These Two Worlds. the Paint In My Work Represents The Analog WORLD. NOTHING Goes On Or Off Or Changes From One State To Another Without Going Through A Transition. There Is Something So Tangible About Painting With Oil - Totally Different From Manipulating Images On A Screen. I Like Contrasting The Thick Juiciness Of The Paint With The Smoothness Of The Print. i Am Mimicking The ‘digital Revolution’ When I Work With The Computer To Generate, Replicate And Integrate. “ using Oils Combined With Digital Technology, Ms. Feuerstein Creates Collage With A Unique 21st Century Twist. As Ms. Feuerstein States On Her Web Site: “nature Occurs In Bits And Pieces…interacting And Integrating To Create Infinite Possibilities And Opportunities Within A Single Moment. Conceptually The Computer Mirrors The Mind, Working In A Continuous Flux Where The Only Constant Is Constant CHANGE. MY Work Emerges From This Ongoing “state Of Collage,” This Dynamic Collection Of Disparate Experience. “ a Master Of Fine Arts Graduate From The Art Institute Of Chicago, Ms. Feuerstein Has Exhibited Nationally And Internationally Including Art Expo In Chicago, New York, Tel Aviv, Japan And Milan. Always Maintaining An Interest In Fine Art, Ms. Feuerstein Started A Career In Commercial Art And Design. She Has Been A Full Time Fine Artist Since The 1990’S. THE Gallery Opening Starts OCT.30, 2009 At 5:30 Pm With A Wine And Cheese Reception Prior To Shabbat Services. The Show Will Run Through Dec. 9THTH. PROCEEDS From The Sale Of The Artist’s Work During The Gallery Show Will Benefit Temple Sholom Of CHICAGO.
