Pavel Feinstein
The Small Format
Citrus fruits with empty oyster shells, chicken eggs stamped with best-before dates and unmoving nudes in empty spaces: Inspired by seventeenth-century painting, Pavel Feinstein transposes artistic traditions to the present day, toys with the viewer’s perceptions and sometimes even blurs the boundaries between the painter and the model.
description
Pavel Feinstein’s painting style is unmistakeable. A grey, undefi ned background underpins a pictorial subject, one or several objects, carefully arranged and sensuously captured. Although his work may inevitably bring to mind the compositions of earlier colleagues, such as Cézanne, Manet or Van Gogh, Feinstein’s work is characterised by additional elements: He transposes desirable objects into austere spaces and imbues his ensembles with a mysterious, melancholy air through purposeful composition. In collaboration with Galerie Kiefer this volume presents the still lifes and nudes created by the Moscow-born artist, who emigrated to Germany in 1980 and now works in Berlin.
press commentaries
Teuflisch gute Bilder
Jewish Voice from Germany
Es ist vor allem das Gespenstische, das Tragische an Feinsteins Bildwelt, das Gefangensein im ewigen Kreisen um Schuld und Sühne, das diesen Werken Eindringlichkeit verleiht.
