Rachel Feinstein — Satyrs
Rachel Feinstein

Satyrs

2008

Three interconnected resin figures emerge in a swirling, theatrical composition, their forms draped in flowing nylon and polyester that evokes both classical mythology and fantastical costume. Feinstein's satyrs pulse with a carnivalesque energy, blending the grotesque and the seductive in a materiality that is simultaneously lush and synthetic. The work's tripartite structure amplifies a sense of restless, writhing movement, suspending these half-human creatures in a moment of perpetual revelry.

Medium
resin, nylon and polyester, in 3 parts
