Contemporary Figurative Painting
Contemporary figurative painting is art from the late 20th to the 21st century that portrays recognisable forms or figures from the real world.
Figurative painting made a strong comeback in the 1980s through artists like Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Since then, it has continued to evolve with various experimental styles and subjects, such as art-historical portraits, blurred memories, and reduced figuration.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. Our standard glazing offer is a minimum 90% UV acrylic plexiglass, or you can upgrade to an anti reflective Optium museum plexiglass.
