French Contemporary Drawing by Jean-Louis Salvadori - Untitled
Located in Paris, IDF
Jean-Louis SALVADORI, né à Ulm en Allemagne, vit et travaille à Toulon (Var) Dès l’âge de 14 ans, Jean-Louis Salvadori s’exprime dans son art et découpe des personnages dans du bois à l’aide d’une scie et les colorie. Dans les années 70 il rencontre le photographe Henry Hermellin avec qui il réalise des portraits en noir et blanc dans différentes expositions communes. Salvadori troque son appareil photo à nouveau pour le pinceau. Depuis les premières expositions de photos à celles de peintures cet artiste polyvalent s’est orienté vers un travail original... Ses œuvres permettent à la suggestion de prendre une place importante. Ce poète, peintre des couleurs, sensible, imaginatif, aborde avec talent la technique mixte mariée à celle du pinceau. Ce qu’il aime surtout, ce sont les portraits, les silhouettes, teintés d’un soupçon de romantisme. Il excelle dans les mises en scène où l’on peut voir des élégantes en représentation, des musiciens créant la fête, des couples tendrement enlacés, …Salvadori n’appartient à aucune école, son talent lui est personnel. Il a comme l’un de ses personnages, « le nez dans les étoiles », et nous invite à le suivre dans son univers de l’imaginaire.

Enigma - Surreal Scene With Figure in Muted Greys, Original Oil on Canvas Framed
Located in Chicago, IL
An enigma by definition is a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. Such is the subject matter of John Seubert, aka John Grey's painting of the same name. The sphynx-like figure stares out at the viewer holding what appears to be a large bowl. The surreal scene is framed in a repurposed frame that the artist has distressed and painted. It measures 25.5h x 21.5w inches. John Seubert Enigma, 2023 oil on canvas 20h x 16w in 50.80h x 40.64w cm JSE076 John Seubert b. 1958, Chicago, IL In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home. This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...

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.
