Collection: Figurative
Figurative art is a style of visual art that represents objects, people, and scenes in a recognisable and lifelike manner, often capturing a sense of realism or depicting recognisable subjects. In figurative art, the artist aims to depict the human form or other recognisable objects in a way that is easily identifiable to the viewer. This style contrasts with abstract art, where the emphasis is on conveying emotions, concepts, or visual elements without a direct representation of subjects.
Figurative art can encompass various media, including painting, sculpture, drawing, and more. It has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations, with examples found in cave paintings, classical sculptures, and traditional portraits. Throughout different artistic movements and periods, figurative art has evolved, taking on various styles and interpretations. It can range from highly detailed and realistic representations to more stylised or impressionistic depictions of figures and objects.
Artists who engage in figurative art often explore themes related to the human experience, emotions, identity, and society. Art Hawk currently has the following desirable figurative artworks available for sale.
