EducationHarvard University, Tufts University, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture
Known forpainting, abstraction
Movementfeminism, neo-pop

Jane Fine (born 1958) is an American visual artist known for paintings that blend cartoonish, pop-culture abstraction with personal and socio-political subject matter.[1][2] Her work has been associated with graffiti and the work of Philip Guston, who she had a chance to meet when he was a visiting artist at Harvard.[3] Since 2007, in addition to her individual work, she has also created and exhibited work with her husband, the painter James Esber, as the artist-duo J.Fiber.[4]

Early life and education

Jane Fine grew up in New York City.[5] She attended Hunter College High School and enrolled at Harvard University as a mathematics major, but then switched majors to focus on studio art.[6] After graduating with a B.A. magna cum laude in Visual and Environmental Studies, she studied painting for two years at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and went on to receive her M.A. from Tufts University.[7] In 1989, she attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture along with Chris Ware, Eve Sussman, and Leonardo Drew, among other artists.[8] At Skowhegan, she worked with fellow painters Terry Winters and John Walker.

Career

In 1985, Fine became one of the founding members of 124 Ridge Street Gallery in the Lower East Side, and was active in the gallery until 1988.[9] In 1986, Fine moved to Williamsburg and became an active participant in the neighborhood's growing artist community.[10]

In the mid-1990s, Fine was represented by Casey Kaplan.[11] Her 1995 solo show at Casey Kaplan was the gallery's inaugural exhibition.[12] Fine showed her work in some of the first commercial exhibition spaces in Williamsburg, including Annie Herron’s Test-Site and Pierogi (originally named Pierogi 2000). [13] She was represented by Pierogi for over 20 years, where she had seven solo exhibitions.[14][15] Other one-person exhibitions by Fine have been held at locations including the Barbara Davis Gallery, White Columns, and the Bernard Toale Gallery.[16]

In 2018, after a 23andMe test, Fine discovered that the man she thought was her biological father was not.[17] She was able to determine the identity of her biological father, a pediatrician she knew as a child named Henry Eisenoff.[18] This patrilineal discovery had a profound impact on the direction of her work, which began to incorporate text as a means to explore the complex range of memories, perceptions, and emotions associated with the event.[19] As stated in the press release for the exhibition Love, American Style (2018) at Pierogi, the new work deals with the "profound emotional and conceptual gap between the cheerful American dream of her childhood and the growing disappointment and disgust of the Trump years". [20]

Teaching

Fine has held academic teaching positions at several institutions including Alfred University, Hamilton College, the University of California, Davis, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Vassar College.[21] Notably, in 2009, she was the Christian A. Johnson Visiting Artist-in-Residence at Middlebury College.
