"Rain Coat" (1994) by Carole Feuerman

The Museum of Art’s recent acquisition of Carole Feuerman’s Rain Coat (1994) brings the enchanting intensity of hyperrealism to our collection. Feuerman is a pioneer of the genre who has spent five decades sculpting vivid depictions of swimmers and dancers with a powerful sense of psychological depth.

Rain Coat exemplifies her style, pairing illusionistic painted resin with real-world materials like nylon cord and human hair to create a heightened sense of realism. The transparent water droplets adorning this youthful subject are another signature of Feuerman’s work. Arrested in time, the stillness of the water imbues a passing moment of contemplation with the weight of timeless permanence.
