ABOUT:
Fogelman is a conceptual, abstract-expressionist, colorist, minimalist, avant-garde, anti-war and environmental artist activist. She works with elements, language and abstract; using contemporary and traditional media: dealing with abstract representational often triggered by language, and experimental use of multimedia, times study of a single hue or a minimal form of structure. She distinguished visual communication and sound as her first language out of five. Her work is influenced by dance and jazz, shamanism and zen, dada and Art School of New York, the ancient Jewish Kabbalah and Gutenberg’s movable type, science and technology. She loves to try exploring metaphysical concepts.
