Contemporary Figurative Painting
Contemporary figurative painting is art from the late 20th to the 21st century that portrays recognisable forms or figures from the real world.
Figurative painting made a strong comeback in the 1980s through artists like Julian Schnabel and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Since then, it has continued to evolve with various experimental styles and subjects, such as art-historical portraits, blurred memories, and reduced figuration.

We collaborate with artists to create both limited editions and works on paper.
A limited edition is part of a unique series of pieces. Limited editions are fixed in quantity, meaning we will only ever produce a certain number.
Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
No—the copyright is not transferred to the purchaser of the edition.
