KM Fine Arts is pleased to announce “Perception” the first Los Angeles solo exhibition of New York based hyperrealist sculptor Carole A. Feuerman. The show will be on view from July 14 — August 20, 2016. Museum size, life-sized, and monumental works will be featured alongside a selection of her new diamond-dust silkscreens created for the exhibition. Feuerman's iconic hyper-realistic swimmers and divers will be included, paired with new bronze works from her dancer series. On Thursday July 14, award-winning dancers Mariusz Kujawski and Emma Fitzsimmons will be performing at the Carole A. Feuerman Perception opening. Mariusz and Emma have collaborated over the years, the most popular being their collaboration on the wildly successful ‘How to Fly: Module 2’.Feuerman is recognized as one of the world’s most renowned hyperrealist sculptors since the 1970s. Together with Duane Hanson and John De Andrea, her contemporaries, she was one of the three leaders starting the movement. Her work explores classicism while presenting common themes that occur in our everyday lives. The sculptures tell powerful stories of experiences the artist has encountered in her own life and the universality of those experiences. Evoking inward emotions, Feuerman invites the spectator to identify with the narrative they see before them. Feuerman's approach to depicting the human form is treated with the care and intensity reminiscent of Bernini’s marble sculptures in the late Renaissance. Nail beds are imperfect, the bottoms of feet naturally wrinkled, and the skin is tanned and covered in strikingly realistic water droplets. The intense physicality of her work acts as a vehicle for more nuanced investigations into human emotions and psychology. The success of each of Feuerman’s works hinges on the believability of it. It is quite easy to stand in front of the artist’s work and shift our sense of reality. When the physical materials of the artwork, the resin, the bronze and the paint and lacquer are perceived as nothing other than skin and flesh, what we are left with the truth or psychological story of each figure.
