Acclaimed sculptor Carole A. Feuerman<\/a> returned to Queensborough Community College<\/a> (QCC) Thursday evening for the opening of \u201cFrom Line to Life,\u201d an exhibition celebrating the internationally recognized artist\u2019s evolution from early drawings to her renowned super realist sculptures.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opened May 28 at the QCC Art Gallery, welcoming visitors, students, faculty and members of the art community eager to experience Feuerman\u2019s latest presentation. Widely regarded as a master of the human figure, Feuerman recently received the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Sculpture Center, adding further distinction to a career that has spanned decades and continents.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features several of Feuerman\u2019s striking sculptures, including a deeply personal self-portrait depicting the artist in the act of creation. Mounted directly to the gallery wall, the work captures Feuerman\u2019s meticulous attention to realism and process. Another centerpiece portrays the artist applying the finishing touches to a suspended swimmer clutching an inflatable float, a signature motif that has become synonymous with her work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very excited to welcome Carole back to the Gallery,\u201d said Faustino Quintanilla, executive director of the QCC Art Gallery. \u201cShe first exhibited with us more than twenty years ago and in the years since I have had the pleasure of seeing her fantastic drawings evolve into super realist sculpture that has a language all its own.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the sculptures, \u201cFrom Line to Life\u201d offers visitors a rare glimpse into Feuerman\u2019s formative years through a collection of drawings from the 1960s and 1970s, many of which are being shown publicly in the United States for the first time. The works reveal the foundations of an artist who would later become internationally celebrated for lifelike sculpture.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the opening reception, Feuerman reflected on the artistic journey documented throughout the exhibition.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHere you can see some of my drawings and also my sculptures, because when I started in the \u201960s and graduated art school, I was doing drawings and paintings, but I started making them very three dimensional, and then they became somewhat sculptural,\u201d Feuerman said. \u201cYou can see that in my self-portrait, where it\u2019s a painting, and then I added three-dimensional legs. I never really thought I\u2019d be a sculptor.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that her understanding of sculpture evolved gradually as her work became more dimensional and immersive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t visualize sculpture in those days as being so three dimensional,\u201d she said. \u201cMy self-portrait was my first transition from a painting to a sculpture, and that\u2019s why I think they called the exhibition \u2018From Line to Life.\u2019 I\u2019m really happy that I\u2019m a super realist sculptor now, and it\u2019s very exciting to see both my drawings and my sculptures together in one beautiful place, in one fabulous museum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feuerman also spoke directly to young and emerging artists who may face obstacles early in their careers.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThese drawings were done mostly when I was in college, at a time when I was juggling many responsibilities, including raising a family,\u201d she said. \u201cSave all your work; you never know what the future will bring, when that curator may discover your talent. And perhaps just as importantly, keep at it. When you create art, it enriches all of you physically and mentally. Never stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quintanilla noted that the gallery\u2019s rise in prominence within the contemporary art world accelerated in 2004 with the exhibition \u201cAmerican Odyssey,\u201d which included works by Feuerman alongside artists such as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson and Marisol Escobar.<\/p>\n

Feuerman\u2019s work has since appeared in major international exhibitions and public installations, including displays on Park Avenue in Manhattan, exhibitions at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome and \u201cReborn into the Water\u201d at the Heydar Aliyev Center. Her sculptures are held in prestigious collections including the State Hermitage Museum and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom Line to Life\u201d continues at the QCC Art Gallery throughout the season, offering audiences an intimate look at the artistic journey of one of contemporary sculpture\u2019s most influential figures.<\/p>\n
