Carole A. Feuerman is recognized as one of the world’s most renowned, influential, and popular hyperrealist sculptors. Her prolific career spans four decades in which she has pioneered new approaches to sculpture.
In May, the Double Diver, Feuerman's monumental sculpture towering 36 feet in the air, was installed at NetApp’s headquarters and gifted to the city of Sunnyvale, California.
Using the innovative technique of dripping molten bronze and utilizing the ability to make 4,800 pounds of bronze balance on six-inch bronze wrists, she pushed the boundaries of both art and physics; creating a sculpture that is truly the first of its kind.

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!
Francesca
by Kelsey Zalimeni
Carole Feuerman has established a certain signature style of sculpture that conveys balance, peace, and the natural beauty of the human body. 'Francesca' evokes these qualities, but also branches into ideals of solitude and contemplation. Seemingly locked in a state of endless meditation, the figure brings out a more solemn side to Carole's expressions.
'Francesca', 2008-2011
Oil on Resin, 35 x 18.5 x 9 inches, Private collection
Her hands are clasped behind her back, but her posture is relaxed. While viewers aren't privy to her exact thoughts, one might imagine the swimmer is lost in a daydream or simply resting after a rigorous pool workout. Her aura is both cool and positive, focused but free of worry. This pensive figure is surely a unique feature within Carole's oeuvre- a little different, but in line with the artist's ethos.
