About
Lindsey Goldberg is a New York-based artist. Originally from New Jersey, she now splits her time between New York City and Tennessee. Her interdisciplinary practice explores the boundaries of gendered domestic spaces while encapsulating the experience of womanhood in simple yet profound gestures with a surrealist twist.
Drawing inspiration from the traditional techniques of glazing in oil painting, she portrays intimate moments of womanhood by developing a personal visual language of iconography inspired by relics, nature, antique objects, and art history. Through deliberate framing and spatial boundaries, she examines notions of confinement and entrapment. Experimentation with transparent paints allows her to investigate thresholds between reality and spectrality, public and private life, the acts of maintenance and care, and what is hidden upon surface level appearance. Her work interrogates the performance of domesticity, where etiquette becomes both ritualistic and restrictive, reflecting how women and nature alike have been regulated, disciplined, and contained. By unpacking these inherited norms, she seeks to challenge the intertwined hierarchies of gender and environmental exploitation, highlighting how the domestication of women parallels the domestication of the natural world. This relationship is especially visible in the spatial design and construction of postwar suburban homes, which historically served to uphold appearances and social expectations.
These hybrid works frequently take shape as oil paintings on antique objects, transforming found or handcrafted furniture into sites of reimagined purpose and narrative. She is working towards her BFA in Fine Arts at Parsons School Of Design.
