Art Style: Figurative

This historical art style declares real things and people alive. The Tate defines it as “any form of modern art that retains strong references to the real world and particularly to the human figure”.

This style of artwork, often in contrast to Abstract Art, and usually found in paintings and sculptures, is representational.

Art that falls under the the Figurative genre essentially represent the real world. This can be architecture, historical moments, Still Life, human forms, Landscape, and Seascapes.

However, there doesn’t need to be a completely realistic depiction of the main subject. There are many unique variations to figurative works of art depending on the Artist and their techniques. This can be seen in our collection at the gallery.
