MICHAL FUHRER
Michal Fuhrer creates figurative sculptures using bronze, metal wires, composite materials and industrial paint.
Working within the tradition of Pop Art, Fuhrer’s sculptures usually have round shapes and a smooth and glossy finish. At the same time, her sculptures touch upon delicate and sincere human moments within contemporary society. A sculpture of a man braving a jump into unknown waters or attempting a graceful ballerina posture unbefitting his plump shape, serve as metaphors for human emotions, desires, and conflicts. Alongside these social observations, Fuhrer’s sculptures also draw on a wide range of cultural references, from 19th-century craftsmanship to Disney animation.

In Fuhrer’s sculptures, she takes iconic shapes and manipulates them in ways that imbue them with new, contemporary meanings. A three-dimensional heart shape is covered with stick-on tattoos, changing the symbol of eternal love into one of living in the moment; a zipper is added to an egg shape, mixing an emblem of birth with the feeling of a newly bought consumer product.
