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.'
