Figures

The human figure has been a subject for artists since prehistory. Figures in cave art have now been dated to more than 40,000 years ago, suggesting that the human form has been central to image making since the human species has existed. 

Figurative work has been a small part of my painting output for a number of years. Here is a selection of figures from a few years ago, exploring human figures and relationships in a nearly monochromatic palette.
