For centuries figurative representations in art remained linear and academic. At the start of the 20th century fresh threads and experimental approaches evolved the making and thinking around the imaging of human form. Today, there are myriad methods and aesthetics associated with the concept of figurative art, reflecting the increasing diversity of artists working throughout our world. Some strategies are easy to recognize and stem from formal representation like photorealism, while others disassemble formal conventions, abstracting form until it’s unrecognizable. SUPER Natural is an intimate survey, curated by artist Karim Hamid, featuring twenty-seven artists from five continents at the forefront of these threads, representing unique interpretations of the ‘figurative’ in art.
