Orna Feinstein’s work displays the geometric complexities that exist within nature, creating a new reality where the organic and the geometric become one in a balanced yet playful composition. The artist merges the boundaries between the traditional format of monoprint into the realm of sculpture and installation. Using unconventional materials like concrete, laser cut paper, fabric, and heat-formed printed Plexiglas, Feinstein’s works become not only three-dimensional, but so optically activated that they seem to move on their own, producing a Moiré effect. The dynamism and vibration between foreground and background are both perceptive and sensory, calling back to traditions of Op Art titans like Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely. Houston-based, Israeli-born artist, Orna Feinstein graduated Summa Cum Laude, receiving a BFA from the University of Houston and a diploma from the Glassell School of Art. Feinstein’s retrospective exhibition Now and Zen – Fifteen years of Contemporary Printmaking has travelled to a number of museums, such as the Museum of Geometric and Madi Art, Dallas, Texas; Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas; Galveston Arts Center, Galveston, Texas; Art Museum of Southeast Texas, Beaumont, Texas. Her work can be found in numerous national and international private, corporate and public collections, including: Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Texas; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taiwan; Douro Museum, Portugal; Fidelity Investments, Houston, Texas; Keshet Eilon Music Center, Kibbutz Eilon, Israel; Skopelos Foundation for the Arts, Skopelos, Greece; Pablo Atchugarry Foundation, Uruguay; University of the West England, Bristol, United Kingdom. In 2018, Orna Feinstein published her book "Treetopia" celebrating and documenting 20 years of artworks. The hardcover, richly illustrated publication includes a comprehensive essay by Dena M. Woodall, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Museum of Fine Art Houston. This book is available for purchase at the gallery.
