Oded Feingersh was born in 1938 in Jerusalem, Israel, and started his career as a chemical engineer.
He studied at the Bezalel Art Academy from 1960-1963 and later in Paris, Brussels and Madrid.
Feingersh was one of the 10+ Group, which encouraged the artist to be more experimental, to use as much materials from all kinds of media and techniques. The group succeeded in introducing considerable freshness into the Israel art scene of the 1960's.
By the late 1970s, his studies brought him back to Israel where he explored the geography of Israel at the Avshalom Institute from 1979-1983.
He has been a noteworthy figure in Israel's fine arts scene since the early 1970s.
A prolific painter and printmaker, Feingersh’s art has been the focus of 85 one-man shows.
Feingersh’s early works were seen as more dark, concerning themselves with the human condition and its iniquities.
Since the 1980s, Feingersh’s technique and subject matter have focused on color and landscape, which, according to Feingersh himself, calls us the authentic roots of indigenous Israeli art. In his most recent collection of works, Feingersh explores the relationship between a people and its land.
Many of Feingersh’s works from the 1980s depict agricultural society and urban society and their age-old conflict. Using almost expressionist techniques, Feingersh also depicts many landscapes, combining his knowledge of Israel and his talent as a writer. Feingersh has written seven archeological tour books; and historical surveys of wine, Jerusalem and Zionism.
Feingersh's work ranges between social realism, naturalism, pop-art and surrealism.
As a vagabond-artist, he draw endless influences from all around the world, his world is abundant with personal and collective mythology, classic and modern influences, from the medieval art to Hieronymus Bosch and Thomas Huffman.
