An American sculptor born in 1945, a pioneer of hyper-realistic sculpture in the 1970s. Art historian John Spike dubbed her the ‘Queen of Superrealism,’ and she is best known for her iconic sculptures of vibrant, lifelike women, dancers, and athletic figures, often on a grand scale. She aspires to create a visual expression of figures depicting a moment of calm, harmony, and internal balance, seeking to evoke emotion and connect with viewers on an intuitive level.
Feuerman is known for her deep understanding of human anatomy and specializes in creating sculptures that appear to be wet. According to her, ‘Swimming and water fascinated me since I can remember myself, and as a result, they became the essence of inspiration for my works.
In the last four decades, Feuerman has been creating monumental sculptures in natural size, working with materials such as steel, bronze, marble, wood, and resin. She combines solid materials in the form of lifelike artificial water droplets cascading over the bodies of her swimmers. In the final stages, she applies multiple layers of primer and paint, giving her sculptures a polished and glossy appearance.
Feuerman’s works are featured in the collections of numerous museums and private collectors, including Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, and Playboy magazine’s collection. Her outdoor sculptures have been exhibited worldwide, including in Central Park and SoHo in New York, Milan, Rome, London, Saint-Tropez, and the Venice Biennale.
