CAROLE FEUERMAN – PARIS 2024
Combining art and sport is one of the foundations of Olympism. For the Paris 2024 Games, Anne Hidalgo, Mayor of Paris, has chosen the monumental work “THE DIVER” by Carole A. Feuerman to be exhibited in front of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Taking part in this cultural Olympiad is a dream come true for the queen of surrealism.
Between performance, emotion and the beauty of the gesture, art and sport share many common values. A symbol of the Olympic spirit, the sculpture by Carole A. Feuerman’s sculpture embodies the values of honesty, perseverance, struggle and courage that are essential to athletes and artists alike.
“I just want to be a source of inspiration for athletes and young people, so that they never give up.”
Inspired by four-time Olympic medallist Greg Louganis, the sculpture also celebrates the aquatic disciplines… as if the artist were already showcasing the excellent performances of the French swimming team at this edition of the 2024 Olympic Games.
