Monoprints and Sculptural Installations by artist Orna Feinstein

MIXED MEDIA

The Tree Spirit series is a body of work that is inspired by the Monoprint process. For several years I have been making monoprints, using nets to depict the layers and texture of trees. In the Tree Spirit series, the actual net is collaged on to the canvas, creating a relief that catches the mysterious spirit of trees.

The Dendriform series are monoprints with collage that were created in the Arctic Circle in 2023. The Presence of Absence Series are monoprints with collage created in Antarctica also in 2023.

CONCRETE WORKS

My concrete works are sculptures made from concrete, paint, and various objects. These works includes the Bio Tree Series, Dendro Beton Series, the Concretree Series, and the Peeled Series, as well as installations.

3D MONOPRINTS

In this series, the three-dimensional monoprints are moving beyond the two-dimensional surface of the paper. The duality of geometric, mathematical patterns and pixelated images creates soft tension between new and old technologies, and inside and outside realities.

MONOPRINTS

I started to make monoprints in 1999 with the Rings Series, which was inspired by the rings of the tree trunk. I continued to explore the organic intricacies of tree rings with the Branched & Rooted Series that appeared in 2004.

NOW AND ZEN - The Traveling Retrospective

Houston-based artist and printmaker Orna Feinstein’s retrospective exhibition "Now and Zen - Fifteen Years of Contemporary Printmaking" is now traveling at various museums and venues.

SCULPTURAL AND PAPER INSTALLATIONS

The series of installations examines the similarities and differences between natural phenomena in plants and artificial human activities. The material used is mostly recycled paper, and the structure is inspired by cellular images of plants as seen under the microscope. Papellibrium (2016) and Multi-Librium (2012), the large scale paper installations made from recycled art invitations, have been extensively reviewed by the art community.
