Marylyn Dintenfass first gained widespread attention for her cutting-edge, sectional-based sculpture installations exhibited throughout the United States, Israel, Italy and Japan. Exploring many approaches, from millennia-old ceramic techniques to the most recent developments in digital technology, Dintenfass confidently continues to address formative ideas about mobility and space, as seen in her most recent installation Parallel Park: a monumental site-specific sculpture stationed on all four sides of a parking structure located in Fort Myers, Florida. The urban transformation is a reflection of the artist's vision, and the scale of the installation- enlargements of a series of 23 images, each one 33 feet high by 23 feet wide- is striking with its wildly colourful gestural paintings incorporating circles and lines. The internationally known artist's work is found in prominent public, corporate, and private collections. Parallel Park, Dintenfass' latest public art installation, marries art and architecture to a mundane urban construction, a parking garage of monumental scale. Her work surpasses the confines of a structured framework through her imagery- a lively expression played out in innovative combinations of conventional and unconventional materials and techniques. The result is a highly distinctive and original artistic manifestation.
