collect figurative art. Why have we started Go Figurative?
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.
Guest Article: How do you like your art?
I have worked in the art world for almost ten years and every now and then I am still surprised by the different viewpoints that exist on the topic. For example, when I work I have a very functional view - I tend to think of an artwork as a thing made out of canvas, paint, steel, bronze, plastic or a combination of materials. This thing (or pair of things) needs to be framed, installed, condition checked, repaired, crated, flown, customs cleared, preferably not damaged and especially not lost.
