FAQs for Figurative paintings

A figurative painting is one that depicts an object or scene in the real world, as opposed to a landscape painting which shows only nature and not people or other objects.

If you are looking at your painting from a distance and it looks like a photograph then it probably is figurative. You can also look for details such as clothing, jewelry, furniture, etc. that would be impossible to paint realistically.

Yes, figurative paintings are just as much portraits as figurative paintings, you will see things that are not normally seen in portraits. For example, you may see a person’s shoes, hair, glasses, etc.

The answer is simple. When buying a figurative painting you are getting something different than what you might get with a realistic painting. With a figurative painting, you will see things that cannot be painted accurately. This makes the painting unique and interesting.

We have several figurative paintings by contemporary Indian artists available for purchase. Some of the artists include: Avi Roy, Kandi Narsimlu, Laxman Aelay, Basuki Dasgupta, Amol Pawar, Dinkar Jadhav, Mohammed Osman, Anand Panchal, Siddharth Shingade, Prakash Ghadge, Ramchandra Kharatmal and Varsha Kharatmal.

Indian Figurative Art

Indian figurative art has evolved through a rich tapestry of historical periods and artistic movements. In ancient India, sculptors created intricate depictions of gods and mythical beings in stone, bronze, and terracotta, exemplified by the detailed temple sculptures at Khajuraho and Konark. The medieval era saw bronze casting flourish under dynasties like the Cholas and Hoysalas, with serene and graceful figures reflecting spiritual devotion. Miniature paintings of the Mughal and Rajput schools captured courtly life and epic tales with remarkable detail and vibrancy.

The late 19th and early 20th centuries brought a shift with Raja Ravi Varma, who introduced realism and naturalism to Indian art, depicting mythological and historical figures with lifelike precision. This period was followed by the Bengal School's revival of traditional art forms infused with nationalist themes, emphasizing simplicity and spirituality. In the post-independence era, modernist movements, led by artists such as F.N. Souza and M F Husain, brought existential and social themes into figurative art through bold, dynamic expressions.

Today, contemporary Indian figurative art continues to evolve, with artists like Bharti Kher and Atul Dodiya blending traditional techniques with modern sensibilities to explore themes of identity, gender, and globalization. This ongoing journey reflects the enduring creativity and diversity of Indian artistic heritage, bridging past and present to engage with the complexities of human experience in a rapidly changing world.

Artists like M.F. Husain and Amrita Sher-Gil are celebrated for their evocative portrayals of Indian life and society, using the human figure as a vehicle for storytelling and social commentary. Contemporary Indian artists continue to redefine figurative art, exploring new perspectives and mediums to express personal and universal truths. From the introspective portraits of Bhupen Khakhar to the vibrant compositions of Thota Vaikuntam, each artist brings a unique voice and aesthetic to the genre, resonating with audiences both locally and globally.

Figurative Art Artists & the Best Figurative Painters

Internationally renowned figurative artists, such as Lucian Freud and Jenny Saville, are acclaimed for their meticulous attention to human anatomy and psychology. Freud's raw and intimate portraits delve into the depths of human psyche, capturing the vulnerability and complexity of his subjects. Saville, known for her large-scale depictions of the human body, challenges conventional beauty standards and explores the fluidity of gender and identity.
