Frankfurt Welcomes Feuerman With Solo Exhibition At Galerie Hübner & Hübner

Germany welcomes Carole Feuerman this fall with a solo exhibition at Galerie Hübner & Hübner. Carole’s exhibition will open October 9, 2015 and run through November 11, 2015. Galerie Hübner & Hübner exhibits international and national artists, and resides in the Frankfurt, Rhein Main region. Grueneburgweg 71 D -60323 Frankfurt / Main http://www.galerie-huebner.de/en/exhibitions/current.

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. 

Kendall Island, 2014. Oil on Resin. 70 x 21 x 38 in. 

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?

Carole Feuerman 2015 Venice Biennale at Palazzo Mora

The Venice Biennale is the bi-yearly, worldly happening that absolutely everyone wants to be seen at, that every artist wants to be shown at, and that everybody wants to be able to say, “I was there!”  

The first wave of artists, critics, collectors, photographers, has-beens, wannabes, and creators in their prime, all made the excursion through the gargantuan labyrinth that is the 2015 Venice Biennale. 

Carole was once again selected to participate in the Biennale in the group show, Personal Structures, sponsored by the European Cultural Centre at Palazzo Mora.

Everyone’s phones were out at the VIP opening night parties because Carole’s sculptures Leda and the Swan and DurgaMa were on display. 

Leda greeted guests just inside the gates, while DurgaMa sat boldly in front of the doors. The crowds adored Leda and thankfully she’s not camera shy!

Leda and the Swan, 2014. Oil on Resin with 24K Gold Leaf and Swarovski Crystals. 42 x 80 x 90 inches.

Attendees are all looking to be in the right place at the right time. To put it mildly, things get a bit wild. People dance delirious from one Gala Party to the next, but hailing a water taxi or a vaporetto is even more impossible than grabbing a cab in NYC!

DurgaMa, 2014. Painted Bronze. 101 x 90 x 91 inches. 

Carole’s showing of Leda and the Swan was indeed the right place at the right time as reflected by the endless sea of people making their way to view her latest sculpture.

JEIO Prosecco wine was provided by the generous benefactor Gianluca Bisol. The combination of Prosecco wines and live music enhanced the evening, creating a truly memorable event.
