When looking for the right bay area figurative for your space, you can search on 1stDibs by color — popular works were created in bold and neutral palettes with elements of gray, brown, beige and orange. Creating a bay area figurative has been a part of the legacy of many artists, but those crafted by Alysanne McGaffey, Jack Freeman, Patricia Gren Hayes, Jerry Opper and Gloria Dudfield are consistently popular. Artworks like these of any era or style can make for thoughtful decor in any space, but a selection from our variety of those made in paint, paper and oil paint can add an especially memorable touch.
