ARTIST STATEMENT Through my sculptures I convey my feelings about life and art. It is far easier for me to express my emotions through sculpture than through words. I portray the inner life of each image I create to capture the passion and sensuality of my subject. In this way, my work speaks to the viewer, evoking both an emotional and an intellectual response. My early hyper-realistic sculptures invite the audience to contemplate the intriguing dichotomy of reality in life and art. While my current work in metal is inspired by the idealized forms of ancient civilizations, in my trompe-l’oeil works, figures are portrayed as fragmented reality. Although only a portion of the body is presented, extensive detailing makes each figure come to life. In contrast, the classical subjects of my work in metal are realized through a technique I developed for dripping and pouring molten materials. Throughout my artistic career, my style has undergone many transformations, but my passion for art and my love of creating art endure. Carole A. Feuerman

Carole Feuerman

Carole A. Feuerman is acknowledged, alongside Duane Hanson and John D’Andrea, as one of the three major American hyperrealist sculptors that started the movement in the 1970s. Feuerman’s career spans over four decades and four continents. At the heart of her sculptures are visual stories of strength, survival, and balance.

Feuerman has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, Columbia University and Grounds for Sculpture.

In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. Feuerman has had solo museum retrospectives at the El Paso Museum in Texas, the Huan Tai Hu Museum of Jiangsu Province in China, the Amarillo Art Museum, the Tampa Museum of Art, the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, the Queensborough Community College Art Gallery – CUNY and the Queens Museum. In 2013, her sculpture The General’s Daughter was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

In 2007, Feuerman had a solo exhibition in Venice called "Bellezza E Beressaze: By the Sea" in the Venice Biennale, curated by John T. Spike, featuring her monumental sculpture Survival of Serena for the first time. In 2008, Survival of Serena was chosen "Best in Show" at the Beijing Biennale and was exhibited at the National Museum of China. In 2013, Survival of Serena was chosen by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for exhibition in Soho, New York. In 2017 it was exhibited in Central Park for the department's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the "Art in the Parks" program.

Currently Feuerman has nine monumental sculptures in Paris on the Champs- Élysées and Avenue George V. Her iconic sculptures Catalina and The General’s Daughter are traveling in a group show titled "50 Years of Hyperrealistic Sculpture."
