About the Author
New York based artist Carole A. Feuerman is one of the world’s most renowned, influential, and popular hyperrealist sculptors. She is one of the three founding members of the hyperrealist movement that began in the late 1970’s and continues well into the present. She is most known for her iconic figurative works of swimmers and bathers, such as ‘Survival of Serena’ and ‘The Golden Mean’. She has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon Guggenheim Museum.
In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. Her artworks are owned by eighteen museums. Her artworks are owned by nineteen museums. They are in the collections of the City of Peekskill New York, the City of Sunnyvale California. Feuerman’s public works have been displayed across the globe, including but not limited to: Central Park and Petrosino Square in New York City, l'Avenue George V in Paris, Harbour City in Hong Kong, and Giardino della Marinaressa in Venice. She is a wife of Ron Cohen, the mother of Lauren Leahy, Sari Gibson, and Craig Feuerman, and the grandmother of Hannah Leahy, Sam Leahy, Isla Feuerman and Kai FeuermanFeuerman’s prolific career spans over four decades and four continents. Through her sculptures, she creates visual manifestations of the stories she decides to tell: of strength, survival, balance. She seeks to connect with her viewers on an intuitive level, evoking emotion and engagement. It is often the viewer’s participation, or the object/viewer relationship, that completes her stories. She has produced a rich body of work in the studio and the public realm. By combining conventional sculptural materials of steel, bronze, and resin, with more unconventional media like water, sound, and video, she creates hybrid works of intricate energy and psychology.
