Carole A. Feuerman is celebrated as one of America's major
hyper-realistic sculptors, alongside Duane Hanson and John De
Andrea. Born 1945, she was educated in New York and Philadelphia
and began as an illustrator before turning to sculpture in the
1970s, which soon earned her much recognition and early success. A
pioneer of hyper-realism in sculpture, her work has been displayed
in many group shows and solo exhibitions at private galleries and
public museums, as well as at the major art fairs, in America,
Europe, and Asia. Over five decades, Feuerman has created visual
manifestations of stories telling of strength, survival, and
balance. She works in marble, bronze, vinyl, painted resins, and
stainless steel. Her work is marked by her thorough understanding
of materials' characteristics and her ability to control them in
the studio. Her subject matter is the human figure, most often a
woman in an introspective moment of exuberant self-consciousness
shaded by erotic lassitude. Feuerman's works represent a state of
female mind rather that an alluring body meant to attract the male
gaze. They suggest that women look at themselves differently from
men looking at them, that a woman is more innately creative than a
man. Many of Feuerman's figures have a fragmented quality,
recalling those by Auguste Rodin, and the aesthetics of Surrealism.
This is the most comprehensive survey of Feuerman's work in
sculpture to date. Lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, it
demonstrates the variety of materials and media she uses and
highlights the specific qualities of her figures.
