“It is through the human figure that I best succeed in expressing the nearly religious feeling that I have towards life.” - Henri Matisse

“The construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else.” - Henry Moore

The human figure. It is often exalted or shamed by the general audience. Yet, it is the foundation for learning form, texture, ratio and more. It is what we see the most of and engage with. Countless narratives about the human condition using the human form have been represented in photography, sculpture and paint; from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the Creation of Man on the Sistine Chapel to Banksy’s Flower Thrower.

 Atelier Rosal invites artists to exhibit their figure paintings, photography, drawings (2-D works) etc. to share their own narrative. Works must not exceed 30”x40”.

An opening reception will be determined at a later date.
