RSVP@chasecontemporary.com Carole Feuerman is one of the earliest hyperrealist sculptors in American who pioneered the movement in the 1970s, along with Duane Hanson and John de Andrea. She is most known for her swimmers and bathers, whose underlying messages are about balance, perseverance, and survival. Executed in painted resin with tactile flesh and meticulous detail, they display both contemporary and Classical influences. Feuerman has also developed a highly original technique of sculpting with molten metal, creating multi-layered bronzes influenced by action painting. Feuerman has taught and lectured 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. She has had solo museum retrospectives at the El Paso Museum and the Huan Tai Hu Museum of Jiangsu province.

Spike, during the Venice Biennale .Feuerman’s sculpture, The Golden Mean , is at the Riverfront Green Park and owned by the City of Peekskill, NY.
