"...My most recent body of work use images from scientific exploration. I
start with pictures of datasets, images captured by satellites and space
observatories. All of the paintings are seen from the point of view in orbit
around the earth, all but one looking out into the cosmos." -excerpt from
Jonathan's personal statement.
"...A pleasurably mild vertigo is induced akin to that presented in Charles
and Ray Eames¹s 1977 film Powers of 10, in which successive images,
beginning in outer space, rapidly bring us into the microcosmic world of the
human cell structure, a locale that Feldschuh has also consistently
explored. Yet he adds an element of distortion via thickly applied paint
that conditions the experience of these abrupt shifts in scale. The multiple
layers of acrylic are built up in such a way that standing close to the
canvas renders the scene almost unrecognizable. Though the earth view
rescues us from purely abstract visual statistics, Feldschuh seems to
suggest that the closer you look, the less you know." -excerpt from Greg
Williams' catalog essay
