Carole A. Feuerman, American hyperrealist sculptor, is presented by
the Global Arts Foundation (GAA), and Bel Air Fine Art at an exclusive
exhibition in Italy in conjunction to the Venice Biennale, May 10,
2019 until November 22, 2019. Organized by the Global Arts Affairs
Foundation and hosted by the European Cultural Center, Feuerman
will be exhibiting seven outdoor bronze sculptures in the Giardino
Della Marinaressa (Riva dei Sette Martiri, 30122 Venezia, Italy).
The realism in Feuerman’s art stems from her desire to portray
emotional and physical states of being, ranging from peacefulness
to energetic vigor. Feuerman states, “I make my sculptures about
people who are comfortable in their own skin. I promote the
idea of total health, with a sound mind in a sound body. This is
one of the defining aspects of my realistic style. Forty years ago,
showing healthy, intelligent women was a radical departure in
contemporary art. Now it is a widely accepted ideal, yet most
contemporary artists don’t explore this topic—at least not in
figurative art. Though my art is varied and has changed over the
years, my love for it continues to grow.”
New York based artist Carole A. Feuerman is acknowledged
as one of the three major American hyperrealist sculptors that
started the hyperrealist movement in the 1970’s. She has taught,
lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
the Guggenheim Museum, Columbia University, and Grounds for
Sculpture. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture
Foundation. Her art is in the collections of the President and
Senator Hillary Clinton, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation,
Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Mikhail Gorbachev Art Foundation, the
Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of
Art, and the State Hermitage in Russia. There are four monographs
written about her work: Carole Feuerman Sculpture, by Hudson
Hills Press; La Scultura Incontra la Realtà; and Swimmers,
published by The Artist Book Foundation. She, is included in A
History of Western Art, published by Harry N. Abrams, and written
by Anthony Mason and John T. Spike. Her work is in museums,
private and public collections worldwide.
