In this studio-based workshop you will investigate a diverse range of conceptual and technical aspects of figuration. Through a series of projects, you will experience the human image and the broader framework of the real, the landscape, the natural world and the body. Using strategies such as observation, models, reproductions and film as source material you will develop an individual approach to contemporary figuration. You will investigate ideas of narrative, distortion, movement, emptiness, and trace as form and content, in a way that explores the unique place of figuration in contemporary art. This workshop will enable you to explore the relationship between painting, drawing, photography, social media and film. Research and experimentation are a core strategy of the workshop leading to a group of individual, resolved artworks. Visual lectures, individual and group tutorials, and demonstrations complement this workshop.
