Carole Feuerman

Carole Feuerman was born in Hartford, Connecticut in 1945. She is recognized for her hyperrealistic approach to sculpture, most notably her works modeled after female swimmers. She works across a broad spectrum of materials to achieve this effect, including resin, marble, and bronze. The detail of her work invites viewers to contemplate the dichotomy of reality in life and art. The artist believes, “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 in order to capture the passion and sensuality of my subject. In this way, my work speaks to the viewer, evoking both an emotional and intellectual response.”

She has taught, lectured, and led workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, Columbia University, and Grounds for Sculpture. Her work has been collected by Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger, as well as the Frederic R. Weisman Art Foundation, Michael Gorbachov Art Foundation, and the Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection.

Feuerman's selected awards include Best in Show at the Third International Beijing Art Biennale, Beijing, CN, the 2001 Lorenzo De Magnifico Award for the Biennale Internazionale: Dell'Arte Contemporanea in Florence, Italy, The Prize of Honor in 2002 for the Ausstellungszentrum Heft in Huttenberg, Austria, and the Medici Prize awarded by the City of Florence.
