The Figure: Interpreted Through Contemporary Mediums is an exhibition that reflects the ambitious, innovative and contemporary practices in painting, printmaking and mixed media today. We are interested in showing work that explores the distinct, varied, and symbolic nature of the figure—work that is made in an imaginative and compelling way.
