Anna in My Studio - Portrait of a Woman, Original Oil Painting on Panel, Framed
Located in Chicago, IL
A casual pose, Anna gazes out toward the viewer, inviting them in for a closer look. Artist Zack Zdrale takes a traditional approach to his work although his subjects and compositions place his work in the present. His paintings are imbued with a stillness and silence for the viewer to infuse meaning. The figure, with her piercing blue eyes, takes a traditional position yet brings a casualness to the piece by her dress and the unfinished works hanging in the background. It captures an intimate moment of solitude. This artwork is framed. The painting is framed in a simple black frame with a small antiqued...

Figurative Paintings for Sale

Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.

While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.

Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.

Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.

Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
