jeanette fintz | Monika Zarzeczna
Jeanette Fintz’s paintings emerge from the collision and dissection of overlapping grid systems, using a choreographic process to intuitively edit and transform geometric fragments into expressive, unstable constructs. Informed by plein air landscape painting and Islamic geometric pattern, the work evokes nature, memory, and time through the tactile interplay of gesture and structure. We are very pleased to be featuring Jeanette’s evocative work. In the Main and Front galleries.
Monika Zarzeczna works in a space where intuition overrides control, embracing coincidence to reveal new possibilities through abstract collages, drawings, sculptures, and installations. The work, often resembling vessels or architectural remnants, explores themes of incompleteness and loss, suggesting disrupted logic and the passage of time. We are very pleased to be showcasing Monica’s eloquent work. In the Main and Front galleries.
join us in the gallery!
68 Prince Street Gallery is thrilled that Stephen Westfall will join us in the gallery in conversation with Jeanette Fintz. Westfall received his MFA in 1978 from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His first solo exhibit in 1984 at Tracy Garet in New York’s East Village earned reviews in Art in America and Art News that took note of his particular take on geometric abstraction which combined elements of Symbolism and Pop. He has had 50 solo exhibitions in the US and Europe. Westfall has been included in several important Surveys of abstract painting including Abstraction/Abstractions, Geometries.
Works by Stephen Westfall are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum, New York, to name a few. Westfall’s writing has been extensively published in such journals as Arts, Art in America, Flash Art, the Brooklyn Rail, and Bomb among others. He was for years a Contributing Editor to Art in America. He has also authored over a hundred gallery and museum catalogues.
