Description: Jeanette Fintz Malay Series Mixed Media Watercolor Gouache Collage On Paper This painting is from her “Malay Series”. Beautiful and unique custom frame. My wife and I have enjoyed this painting for several years. We have decided it to part with it due to lack of space. Excited to find this wonderful painting a new home. A painting that will attract your eye and teach you something new every time. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer. If this painting isn’t your taste I still highly recommend checking out her other works online. Simply amazing. When we originally purchased the painting we reached out to her because we were eager to learn more about it. Here is her response “ This piece is part of a body of work begun in mid 1996 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and continued for another couple of years afterwards when back in the states. My husband and I were founding faculty of a new Parsons School of Design affiliate school in KL. ( now defunct).We resided there for over a year and traveled quite alot around the region. The multiple prong brush is characteristic of the group since it references paddy fields, textiles, river travel, stupas, and the sinuous gestures of Balinese dancers that we experienced. Very often in later pieces there were fragments of joss papers collaged into the surface. There are large paintings from this period(60x72”), and a some works on paper as well, but none are on my web site.” Jeanette Fintz Medium: Watercolor, acrylic, collage or other Work on Paper Signature: Hand-signed by artist Framed: Yes Large Frame (higher shipping cost) The frame really feels like a piece of the art.

Frame measures 42” x 32” Paper measures approximately 30” x 22” Bio from her webpage Jeanette Fintz is an abstract painter, who resides and paints in Surprise, New York in the upper Hudson River Valley. She is also an arts writer and independent curator. The intermix of being a native New Yorker and now, happily, a resident of the lush Hudson River Valley is evident in her work, which combines an urban edginess with the lyrical influences of her natural surroundings. Ms. Fintz was born in Brooklyn NY, educated at Queens College, The New York Studio School and Boston University. Her personal amalgam of NY School formalist principles, and love of natural light and color was initially forged during her summer at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture where she painted from the Maine landscape. Ms. Fintz lived and worked in the artist communities of Tribeca and Williamsburg, exhibiting regularly in NYC. Jeanette in part, credits the importance of natural light for her decision to transplant home and studio to Surprise. Ms Fintz has filtered nature through her urban sensibility, stretching color motifs towards the heightened and intensified palette often found in the realms of design and fashion. Her pieces have a rhythmic impact stemming both from her enjoyment of jazz and polyrhythms of Brazilian and Indian origin, which she also sees displayed in the visual rhythms found in textiles and Islamic tile patterns. Jeanette’s involvement with these resources was enhanced by sabbatical travel to Spain’s Andalusia Region (2005 & 2009) to investigate patterning systems found in Moorish tiles and architecture, and to Turkey (2013), where she focused on the Iznik, Byzantine and Greco-Roman tiles and frescoes. Jeanette also had immersed herself in textile patterns and Ikat designs during her yearlong sojourn in Malaysia, where she was founding faculty in a new Parsons School of Design affiliate in Kuala Lumpur (1996-97). The intuitive rhythmic order of Jeanette’s paintings prior to 2009 which featured repetitive lines, circles and ellipses clashing with fluid gestural streams of color have given way fully in the new work to a given crystalline geometric substructure that unifies all visual events. This work embraces and employs the Oneness found in sacred geometry as the underpinning for improvised pathways that give each work its uniqueness. Shapes that are found have a “role” to play, to riff off some of Jeanette’s series titles. The earlier pieces acknowledge through the unexpected visual event, the imperfection of the human condition while the newer geometries strive for the expression of spiritual wholeness and connection.

In this work I play a fairly high stakes game of improvisation around a motif. Using a working method akin to jazz, I counterpoint systematically repeated elliptical shapes against gestural pours & drips and something unexpected emerges. I am drawn to create complexity, and challenged to unify multiple layers through the physicality of the paint, which fuses & knits together, as well as, ultimately, through the power of color to stabilize & resolve. The ellipse, which is hypnotic & spatial in repetition, & monumental, but not static as a shape unto itself, embodies references to nature and to the decorative arts which are both alluded to in the paintings. (The egg, the mirror, the vulva, or the shield.) Dynamic visual rhythms, in these pieces, the momentum of the repetitive ellipse, are typical of my work and help to maintain order within complexity. Their sources for me are both musical, notably the poly-rhythms of Latin jazz, Brazilian & East Indian music, and are also derived from the decorative arts, particularly textiles. The latter have been a source of excitement, often contributing a playful aspect to the paintings. I intentionally disturb the regularity of pattern, encouraging discordance & uniqueness, and then bring it back home after finding another by - way to work things through. Color is my most intuitive source of inspiration, connecting me to nature; It is also, ironically, my most passionately calculated element. In the primal struggle among sometimes apparently random components, subtlely modulated color clarifies purpose, builds context, and holds the structure together.” Jeanette Fintz (January 2005)
