Here/Now: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Grows

Selected Bay Area Figurative Artists Exhibition

Today’s narrative, expressive phase of the Bay Area figurative movement is about reflecting on the world we live in.

We are telling stories that reach beyond academic achievement and accuracy. We are truth seeking. Sometimes we embrace the unbeautiful. Or create beauty for its own sake.

Our work might reflect on our personal struggles or reflect the tensions that surround our lives. We are presenting a range of select artists who focus on the figure and are living and working in The Bay Area. Each is grounded in the figurative movement yet continues to explore and express their humanity through portrayals of the form in context.

This exhibition celebrates the intersection of Fine Crafts and Fine Art, showcasing the fluid boundary between these creative expressions. What one culture views as fine art, another might consider craft, highlighting the subjectivity of these distinctions.

Fine Craft often emphasizes functional objects, where utility complements artistic excellence in working with specific materials. Fine Art, on the other hand, prioritizes aesthetic, imaginative, and intellectual value over practicality.

Today, the lines between these forms blur, creating a rich dialogue between tradition and innovation. This exhibition features exceptional craftsmanship, diverse materials, and creative techniques from Bay Area artists, celebrating the artistry behind each unique piece.
