History

Figurative art has its roots all the way back to the 14th century in the church. During this period, artists began painting figures in 3D instead of flat images. This created a sense of realism. Moving on from biblical depictions, artists began to explore the human figure of everyday people. In the 19th century, Edgar Degas expressed his figures through the exploration of color, form, and composition. Since then, artists have pushed boundaries. Now, artists create figurative works in styles from realistic to abstract. Figurative art today describes any form of modern art that represents the real world, in particular the human figure. In sum, figurative art has the ability to connect deeply with us. We may even see ourselves within the artwork. Above all, figurative art is the perfect addition to any space.
