Contemporary Figurative Photography

CONTEMPORARY STYLE

Used to refer to a time rather than an aesthetic, Contemporary art generally describes pieces created after 1970 or being made by living artists anywhere in the world. This immediacy means it encompasses art responding to the present moment through diverse subjects, media and themes. Contemporary painting, sculpture, photography, performance, digital art, video and more frequently includes work that is attempting to reshape current ideas about what art can be, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s use of candy to memorialize a lover he lost to AIDS-related complications to Jenny Holzer’s ongoing “Truisms,” a Conceptual series that sees provocative messages printed on billboards, T-shirts, benches and other public places that exist outside of formal exhibitions and the conventional “white cube” of galleries.

Contemporary art has been pushing the boundaries of creative expression for years. Its disruption of the traditional concepts of art are often aiming to engage viewers in complex questions about identity, society and culture. In the latter part of the 20th century, contemporary movements included Land art, in which artists like Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer create large-scale, site-specific sculptures, installations and other works in soil and bodies of water; Sound art, with artists such as Christian Marclay and Susan Philipsz centering art on sonic experiences; and New Media art, in which mass media and digital culture inform the work of artists such as Nam June Paik and Rafaël Rozendaal.

The first decades of the 21st century have seen the growth of Contemporary African art, the revival of figurative painting, the emergence of street art and the rise of NFTs, unique digital artworks that are powered by blockchain technology.

Major Contemporary artists practicing now include Ai Weiwei, Cecily Brown, David Hockney, Yayoi Kusama, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and Kara Walker.

Eminem 1999 (unframed) photo figurative contemporary red portrait
By Chris Buck
Located in New York, NY
CHRIS BUCK Born 1964, Toronto, Canada Lives and works in New York, NY ​ Eminem 1999 Ed 10 Artist Statement: For any serious photographer their best portraits are ultimately also self-portraits. The discomfort, oddness and frustration in my photographs are the evidence of my uneasiness. As I've grown more mature and more comfortable in my skin I've been able to recognize the struggle and vulnerability in my sitters, bringing my work to a point of collaboration with them. Where once I sought conflict with the subjects now we work to build something strange and wonderful together. ​ Solo Exhibitions 2017 Uneasy, Krause Gallery, New York, NY 2014 Turn of the Century Portraiture, Galerie Youn, Montreal, QC 2013 Presence: The Invisible Portrait, Foley Gallery, New York, NY 2002 The Sound of Music: New portraits of Contemporary Musicians, Other Music, New York 1998 FanClub, Saba Gallery, New York, NY ​ Group Exhibitions 2016 Winning the White House: From Press Prints to Selfies, curated by Susan Carlson and Claartje van Dijk for the International Center of Photography, New York, NY; exhibited at the Southampton Arts Center, Southhampton, NY 2013 Rebels, curated by Carl Saytor, Photoville Brooklyn. 2012 Traces of Myth.

Dancing Flowers - underwater nude photograph - print on aluminum 48" x 36"
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This ethereal underwater photograph captures a topless female figure draped in flowing turquoise tulle, suspended against a dramatic black backdrop. Vibrant magenta flowers float at the water's surface, creating striking color contrasts with the aquamarine tones. Sher's composition transforms the underwater environment into a stage for graceful movement, where fabric becomes liquid poetry. The work continues the tradition of underwater photography as contemporary fine art, exploring themes of weightlessness and transformation. The interplay between human form, textile, and botanical elements creates a dreamlike narrative that bridges dance, fashion, and aquatic artistry. Original digital print on aluminum plate signed by the artist. Limited edition of 12. Print #2 The artwork is furnished with certificate of authenticity, signed by artist with artist's name, edition number, edition limit, and other details.

Male Nude with Head Down (Sepia Toned Figurative Photograph by David Halliday)
Located in Hudson, NY
Contemporary figurative sepia toned photograph of nude male model Sepia toned silver gelatin print, edition 3 of 25 Image size: 8 x 8 inches 17.5 x 16.5 x 1 inches framed with 8-ply white mat and non reflective glass. Signed and dated below image with atelier stamp This contemporary figurative photograph was taken by David Halliday in 1998. The sepia toned silver gelatin print beautifully captures a standing male model on a simple monotone background. The nude model's flawless skin complements the similarly toned sepia backdrop, while contrasts in light and shadow accentuate his toned back and shoulder muscles. The figure's casual pose lends a serene atmosphere to the image. This print, 3rd in the edition of 25, is framed in a custom brown wood Larson Juhl frame with an 8 ply white mat and non reflective glass. The print is signed with an atelier stamp on the lower right. About the Artist: David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way, and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing. More about the work: A master of light, David Halliday produces lush and elegant images that are both classical and modern. Celebrated for his ‘purist’ eye, he poetically captures the nude male body in a selection of sepia-toned prints from 1996. Rarely revealing the model's face, Halliday prefers to focus on the natural drape of limbs, soft folds of flawless skin, and curvature of the spine. Overall, a stunningly intimate portrayal of the male form done with elegance and charm.

Images from his early in his career were inspired by fitness manuals and yearbooks c. 1910. This is not surprising since Smalley graduated with a degree in sports medicine from Pepperdine University and worked for a number of years as a model and personal trainer. Smalley shot the bulk of his photographs in his home state of Pennsylvania, using real high school athletes as models. “Exercise at Home” is Luke Smalley’s second major body of work. Shot in and around the tiny Pennsylvania town the artist called home, Smalley revisits themes of adolescent growing pains acted out under the guise of earnest athleticism. Teenagers engage in simple yet strange competitions meant to establish their standings amongst one another. Two youths practice boating safety...
