Figurative art references the real world whilst conceptual art is based on ideas. Abstract art does not seek to represent the material world  yet abstracts elements from it.

Figurative artists work from reality and object sources that reference the real world with the objective of creating art which is aesthetically satisfying.

Our Featured Artists have described the need to communicate visually the emotions and narrative behind the subject that they are seeking to portray.

All figurative art is dependent on line, colour, shape, light and dark, mass, volumes texture and perspective. Picasso said ' There is no abstract art. You must always start with something figurative.'

The artists we feature have come to us in a number of ways; some by direct approaches made by the artist themselves, others by recommendation. We will be looking out for artists that are recommended by community members on Go Figurative.

We value the support and information supplied by the British Library's Business and IP Centre.

We have encountered many figurative artists who are working in isolation and see 'no way into the art world' despite having talent, skill, and a focus on visual communication using contemporary styles which go beyond 'kitsch representation'.

Some buyers, we suspect, also feel there is ‘no way in to the art world’ as they are alienated either by conceptual artwork, by price, or lack of understanding of work which does not 'speak to them'.

We believe there is a place for a community which enables figurative artists to show their work to others with a shared passion for figurative art. By making use of today's technology, community members can show their art, make comments and post their own views.
