Photos entered for consideration in the 14th Annual Contemporary Figurative Show at the
Hilliard Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri. The call for entries closed June 7, 2021, and the show runs from July 2 to August 21, 2021. One of my photos was accepted for exhibition.
Why do artist and collectors like art of the Human Form? Simply put it is because art is a means of communicating human experiences, therefore human bodies are naturally depicted. The figurative form can be used as the ideal medium to convey a spectrum of ideas with which the viewer can resonate. The human figure has always been a common subject of visual art, "it forces the viewer to engage the artwork and enables the artist to express an entire range of ideas from the subtle to the intense". In the history of art the human figure bears, in different ways and through different periods in time, a huge significance, being the most direct means by which art can address the human condition. The Contemporary Figurative show seeks to showcase the best artwork, selected Nationally and Internationally.
