Capri
by Kelsey Zalimeni
Basking in the glimmering presence of Carole Feuerman's 'Capri' invites viewers to fully appreciate the skill and care of its execution. While the dazzling Swarovski swim cap commands initial attention, the eye trickles slowly down the rest of the figure to delight in its detail and texture.
Capri, 2013, Resin with Swarovski Crystal Cap, 30 x 20 x 11 inches
A rather content countenance gives way to a fitting leisurely pose, one hand casually hooked to the edge of her suit. The swimmer dons a brilliant cobalt one-piece with incredibly convincing texture and weight. 'Capri' symbolizes glamour, grace, leisure, and luxury. She is both decadent and delicate, lavish yet natural- achieved through the juxtaposition of her relaxed, casual pose and the rich, sparkly materials she wears.
This featured piece is currently on display at Art Southampton from Thursday, July 24 to Monday, July 28. If you are attending the event, be sure to stop by booth AS67 to see 'Capri' in person!
