Many complain that contemporary art is too abstract, that it has little to do with reality, and that it is difficult to guess what exactly the author wanted to show in this or that work. But the main method in the work of the New York sculptor Carole Feuerman is realism. Or rather, not even realism, but hyperrealism.
Wet people, and especially wet girls, always attract attention. After all, it is beautiful, erotic and exciting. A wet person cannot hide anything from the world, cannot embellish himself or, conversely, make it worse than he is.
Apparently, therefore, the American sculptor Carol Feuerman created a series of sculptures in which she depicted people who had just got out of the water. These are professional swimmers, and just characters who recently took a bath or shower.
Men and women, cast from a special resin, and hand-painted by the author, appear before the audience in a size of one to one or slightly larger than the real one. Water (or rather, its sculptural counterpart) makes them incredibly beautiful, sensual, touching and … almost real.
And every little detail made by Carol Feuerman gives them more and more realism. Up to hyperrealism. It seems that this person is about to start moving, speak or even jump into the pool and swim. And it doesn't matter that not all of these sculptures depict a person completely.
Carol Feuerman is one of the most popular American artists of our time. A series of sculptures depicting wet people is one of her most famous works. In particular, it was presented at the pre-Olympic Biennale in Beijing in 2008.

Paintings on wet sand by Andres Amador
A talented person is talented in everything. To paraphrase this phrase, we can say that a creative person can create a masterpiece out of nothing. For example, the artist Andres Amador prefers to paint his paintings … with a rake on a wet beach at low tide. As a result, the image is stretched to an area of up to 10,000 square meters, and the beach itself begins to resemble an art gallery
Wet reality in the paintings of Alyssa Monks
The artist Alyssa Monks does not like when her paintings are compared to photographs, although it is with this comparison that all articles about her usually begin. She deliberately avoids ideal forms, believing that the existing reality is more beautiful than any perfection. She loves to experiment and surprise. The results of her experiments are in front of you
Wet watercolors by Gregory Thielker. Living through rain-drenched glass
After the summer heat, a refreshing lingering downpour is a godsend. Although for an artist named Gregory Thielker, any rain is a precious gift. And not at all because his crop dries up in the garden, or he prefers to wash himself with rainwater. The fact is that this artist paints unusual pictures. He looks at life through the rain-drenched windows in the car, his own apartment, shop windows and showrooms … And then he takes up his brush and stands to the easel
"Water to your head". "Wet" photo project by Marcin Cecko
Polish photographer Marcin Cecko is not very famous outside his homeland. Perhaps because he is still young and relatively inexperienced, or perhaps because his main job is related to the tasks of advertising agencies. But one way or another, his works, made not for advertising, but for the soul, are worthy of attention and admiration
You know them. Everyday hyper-realism of sculptures by Romulo Keldran (R ó mulo Celdr á n)
Yes, you really know them. Moreover, every day you have to "communicate" - with some more and more often, with others less and less often, but nevertheless, they will not surprise you when you meet again. But be careful if the next meeting takes place at an exhibition of sculptures by the Spanish sculptor Romulo Celdran. Romulo is famous for his ability to create hyper-realistic sculptures, and his art project Macr is dedicated to them
