Feuerman Sculptures, Sea Idylls, at the Seaportt
May 12, 2024 – November 31, 2024
Seaport, New York
Experience the awe-inspiring world of Caro le Feuerman’s monumental sculptures as they grace the vibrant streets of Manhattan’s Seaport. Nestled within the bustling cityscape, the exhibition titled “Sea Idylls” showcases five of Feuerman’s magnificent works, previously adorning the prestigious Park Avenue in Murry Hill.
Renowned for her Superrealist style, Feuerman has meticulously honed her craft over the past five decades. Her sculptures possess an uncanny resemblance to living beings, rendering them almost indistinguishable from actual people, were it not for their imposing or miniature proportions. Often capturing women in serene, meditative poses adorned with glistening water droplets, the sculptures at the Seaport deviate from this characteristic feature. Instead, they engage with their surroundings, inviting the rain to caress their surfaces and breathe life into their forms.
Feuerman’s artistic prowess carves out a distinctive niche within the art world. While other superrealist sculptors exist, she stands alone in her ability to create pieces suitable for outdoor display. Enduring the whims of wind and rain, she meticulously preserves the illusion of lifelike skin—an accomplishment achieved through years of relentless experimentation and refinement.
One of Feuerman’s captivating works, “Survival of Serena,” stands proudly at the end of Pier 17. With the majestic Brooklyn Bridge as her backdrop and the Hudson River flowing behind her, she patiently awaits your arrival, beckoning you to capture a remarkable selfie in her presence. Another masterpiece, “Justice,” presents a poised woman in a graceful lotus pose, perched upon a gleaming, polished stainless steel sphere. As you gaze upon it, the sculpture mirrors both your own reflection and the surrounding environment. Feuerman herself relished the sight of a group of schoolchildren who couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the beguiling sphere, their excitement fueling her artistic passion.
Step into Feuerman’s realm and discover the artistry that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. You are cordially invited to immerse yourself in the captivating “Sea Idylls” exhibition at the Seaport from now until the end of November.
