Third Generation: The Bay Area Figurative Movement Today – Selected Bay Area Figurative Artists

The Bay Area Figurative Movement never died and continues to thrive. San Francisco Bay Area artists and models founded the Models Guild in 1946, and it’s no wonder that we still have such a healthy, lively community, chock-full of dedicated talent. Some of us even flourished during COVID and sheltering-in-place, as we continued drawing, painting, and sculpting on Zoom sessions around the world. What does our figurative community look like? We are artists and models; teachers and students; our styles are anywhere from classical to pop; our techniques are everything from digital to hand-ground pigments; and our community encompasses the very experienced and the relatively new to exhibiting. This exhibition explores a full range of styles and approaches combined with skill and craft.

Events

1/20: Reception will be held on Saturday, Jan 20th, 2 to 5pm with curators’ and artists’ talks, live music, and refreshments.

1/28: A Closing Reception will be held on Sunday, Jan 28th, 3-6pm with a book talk/sale, curators’ and artists’ talks, and a roving model to draw.
