Carole A. Feuerman is an American Hyper-Realist sculptor. Along with artists like Duane Hanson and John DeAndrea, she focuses on figurative sculptures executed with a startlingly high degree of realism. Known for her sensuous themes of swimmers and bathers, complete with translucent water drops, her work takes the concept of art imitating life to a new level. “My work tell stories,” the artist has explained. “Sometimes they are stories I want to tell, and sometimes they are my stories from my life experiences. They are stories about balance, perseverance, survival.” Executed in painted resin with tactile flesh and meticulous detail, they display both contemporary and Classical influences, including Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Feuerman has also developed a highly original technique of sculpting with molten metal, creating multi-layered, organic bronzes influenced by action painting. Born in 1945 in Hartford, CT, she received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Today, her works are in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, among others. Notably, she is also represented in many prestigious private collections around the world, including in the collection of the Emperor of Japan, and President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton. Feuerman lives and works in New York, NY.
