Painting With Fire - Carole A. Feuerman Sculptures

Feuerman's sculpture combines breathtaking super realist technique with a humanist approach to their subjects. The work in resin, cast marble, bronze, and other materials, often painted-ranges from early erotic reliefs through full-scale sculptures of athletes and nudes. Her women at their toilette are sculptural tours-de-force, yet their intimacy recalls Degas' works on similar themes. Recent fragments and body mappings are experiments with abstraction, deconstruction. and conceptualism, at the same time that they explore the emotional life of their subjects, penetrating to their spirit.

Feuerman's newest works are in bronze. They serve as an important breakthrough for her. They are expressionistic and figurative. Through a process she has patented, she free-pours molten bronze. It turns iridescent shades of copper, gold, blue, and green. She calls them her map series, because they resemble typographic body maps. Currently she is making spheres of planets, worlds, which grew out of her spiritual work.

Feuerman has had one-person exhibitions throughout the world. She is the recipient of countless awards, including the "Amelia Peabody" Sculpture Award and the "The Lorenzo De Medicci" prize in Biennale Internationalize Dell' Arte Contemporanea in Florence , Italy . With works commissioned in Europe , Asia , and the United States , she is a sought after lecturer and television personality.

Her work is in the permanent collections of the Lowe Museum , the Tampa Museum , Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and the QCC Museum , as well as, the collections of President and Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Dr. Henry Kissenger, JNA Van Caldenborgh, the Caldic Collection, Absolute Art Collection, and Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection. Hudson Hills press has recently published "Carole A. Feuerman - Sculpture", written by Dena Merriam & Eleanor Munro with photos by David Finn.

She is currently working on her second book "Painting with Fire", a documentary of her bronzes and spheres.

Last museum exhibition was in Austria where she was invited to participate in the International Biennale of Contemporary Art - Austria 2002 at the Heinrich Harrer Museum .
