Jean Foos is a visual artist whose practice centers on richly painted and patterned surfaces. She
gives new life to objects made from discarded packing materials and ceramics. For her installations she favors ad hoc urban settings, such as long-abandoned industrial buildings, military housing, and community gardens.
Born in Rochester, New York, in 1953, Foos moved to NYC to attend Cooper Union and lived in the East Village for over 20 years. She first had a studio at 32 Union Square East, and later moved many times to work in Soho, the Bronx and the garment district. At each of her locations she was active in the community of artists and held open studios and exhibitions. Because her studio is currently located at an arts center (Culture Lab LIC) she has become more engaged than ever with the local populace.
