From July 4 to September 21, 2025, Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome will host Carole A. Feuerman. The Voice of the Body, the first major retrospective exhibition in Italy by American artist Carole A. Feuerman, one of the most striking figures in contemporary pop superrealism, capable of shaping the human body into a powerful, vivid, and deeply emotional narrative.
Best known for her highly realistic sculptures depicting bathers, swimmers, athletes, dancers, and nudes, Feuerman has placed the representation of the body at the center of her art. She creates figures that seem to be alive, suspended between reality and imagination, capable of moving, questioning, and fascinating; works in which the human body becomes a universal language, speaking of deep emotions, recounting inner struggles, and reflecting the contradictions of contemporary society. It is a body that feels, that vibrates, that looks at the world through the lens of the senses, and that becomes a symbol of a human condition that is both fragile and powerful.
The exhibition brings together a large collection of works from the 1970s depicting fragments of predominantly female bodies, in many cases laden with erotic implications, connected to the dynamics of postmodernism and feminist demands.
