Jan 31-Mar 14, Reception Feb 7, 4-6pm; Tu, We, Fr, Sa 10:00-5:30, Th 11-7
The San Francisco-based artist has become known for creating beguiling works of deceptively minimal simplicity, using a basic technique of brushing lines of lightly pigmented watercolor in free-hand strokes across heavyweight paper. In addition to works in her traditional square format, Fein will present a new discovery: the "Tondi" series applies her technique to a circular composition. Extreme concentration is required to achieve the ethereal quality of these works-a result of hundreds of precisely timed and executed layers. The rigorous, almost punishing, process produces a contradictory effect of transcendent serenity and astonishing beauty.
