The American artist Carole Feuerman is one of the most renowned and appreciated hyperrealistic sculptors in the world. Her exhibition Sport del bellessere, presents the works she is best known for, and which won her the first prize at the Beijing Biennale: her figures connected to water.

These sculptures of bathers and swimmers are tied to the artist’s own deeply-felt physical and emotional experiences. Her work is the fruit of an artistry that is full of sensuality, tied to imagery that mixes together form and desire, and where hyperrealism plays with Pop Art, enriching it with handcrafted skill and a knowledge of materials. Her figures are so “alive” that they almost seem to breathe.
