Melissa Morgan Fine Art on Instagram: "For more than thirty years, Feuerman's modus operandi has been to honor all women by portraying them as strong, healthy, happy, and sensuous. In the mid-1970s, during the height of the sexual revolution, Feuerman exhibited a series of eroticized sculptural female fragments, clearly affirming the cultural awakening that was taking place, when women took charge of their sexual desires and claimed a territory that had traditionally been reserved for men. Since the 1980s, much of the artist's oeuvre has been devoted to athletic subjects like the swimmer or the ballerina. As females, these figures personify heroic archetypes, women who are proud of their bodies and triumphant in their achievements. As metaphors, they are expressive of hope and determination, and of the faith that accompanies the drive to push forward on life's journey, regardless of the challenges or obstacles that threaten to deter us.
