Carole Feuerman: Body of Work

Carole Feuerman is an American hyperrealist sculptor who has carved a very special niche for herself.  She creates colorful provocative figures that begin as casts taken directly from her subjects and end up as freestanding sculptures in interior and exterior spaces. Most of her models appear to be the all American girl next door on summer vacation. Color helps greatly in this.Feuerman, a contemporary of hyperrealists Duane Hanson and George Segal, accepts her subjects’ tastes and preferences in swimwear, make-up, and accessories. In some instances, Feuerman’s subjects find themselves in heroic scale as part of site-specific projects outside of public buildings all over the world. These isolated figures, lost in moments of private reflection, are thrust onto the public stage. This, however, in no way detracts from the unique characteristics of each figure.
