Figurative
Sponsored by Realism Today and Realism Live
This category consists of groups of people, individuals, and nudes. Figurative art is a record of both individual and cultural importance, documenting our species in all its glory. From our daily lives to our core emotions and values, figurative art is a way of expressing, in a universal language, the triumphs and failures of our shared human existence.
