| General's Twin, 2009. Oil on Resin. 24 x 15 x 8 in. |
Carole Feuerman has
been a pioneer in the hyper-realist art movement since its inception in the
1960s and has been perfecting the movement ever since. Feuerman’s solo
exhibition provides viewers the opportunity to see Carole’s progression into
one of the most influential figures in the hyperrealist movement. The
exhibition chronicles Carole’s career, presenting sculptures from her first
ever solo exhibition to the present day. For example, Red Tie (1965) a
sculpture from Carole’s solo exhibition in Fort Worth, Texas called Rated X,
juxtaposes the sweet General’s Twin (2009), featuring a young girl
swimmer blossoming into adolescence.

| Beach With Goggles, 2011. Oil on Resin. 18 x 12 x 7 in. |
Beach With
Goggles (2011) is another
youthful swimmer featured in the show. This rosy cheeked girl in a poka-dot
suit looks to be relaxing after a long swim. Swimmers have been a main theme
throughout Feuerman’s career, therefore, they are prominently represented
within the exhibition. Due to the craftsmanship and hyper-realist quality of
every sculpture one innately strives to apply a narrative or personality to
each piece. For example, one can easily imagine Kendall Island (2014) in
her lustrous black cap and sleek crisscross suit resting right after diving
practice.

Even tabletop pieces
are quite easy to envision as living figures. A peaceful Miniature Serena (2013)
floats along with her inner-tube, as she rests on a tabletop. Meanwhile, Miniature
Quan (2013) precariously balances on a sphere creating a
dichotomy between the relaxed swimmer and the pressure being applied to the
sphere. Furthermore, it is a representation of the Buddhist goddess Quan
and her burden of protecting the world. Their is a feeling of power, presence,
and strength reflected in the emotion and youthful quality in each piece, a
sense that frequently flickers and fades with age. Malibu (2012) a
young swimmer featured in the exhibit can easily be seen effortlessly ‘breaking
through’ the water. Where do readers imagine Carole’s sculptures?
