Spanning the artistic oeuvres of three generations, Figuren represents the best in modern and contemporary figurative art - in painting, drawing, prints, and sculpture.
The drinks reception for the launch will be accompanied by a conversation among exhibited artists, including Neil Gall, James Lang, Fitzroy Schofield, Richard Stipl, and Nicole Wassall.
Figuren is a show of firsts. It is the UK debut for leading Czech sculptor Richard Stipl, and the for German Neo-Expressionist Franz Hitzler. Martin Assig's Frida Kahlo Kleid, a major work, shall be shown in London for the first time, (alongside a rare etched portrait of Kahlo by her contemporary Margaret Bruton). Likewise, Kate McCrickard's series of three large-scale paintings allegorising the visual arts are (for the very first time) united and displayed together.
