Figurative art is undeniably one ofthe mostpowerful and enduring formsof modern art. Unlike abstract art, which moves away from recognisable forms and shapes, figurative art captures the essence of the natural world by focusing on the human figure, the human body, plants, animals, seascapes, landscapes and everyday life. Artists portray the human form to evoke emotions through realistic or abstract representations. At our online gallery, we invite you to explore our curated collection of fine art prints and original paintings that showcase the best figurative art. Our collection features works that bring to life the intricate beauty of human forms, animals, and nature, capturing the soul of each subject with unparalleled realism and detail.
Free global delivery on all orders.
The allure of figurative paintings lies in their ability to convey narratives through carefully rendered human figures, often set against dynamic backgrounds that bring the canvas to life. Figurative painters, particularly artists John Dyer, Joanne Short, and Ted Dyer, significantly contribute to the historic art of Cornwall.Each piece offers a unique perspective on the human experience, whether a Cornish scene capturing a fleeting moment in time or a vast landscape from global exploration. From the bustling streets of London to the tranquil countryside of France, figurative art spans a wide range of subjects, providing a window into different worlds, eras, and styles. The figurative works of artists like John Dyer, Joanne Short, and Ted Dyer stand alongside iconic figurative artists such as Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Ben Nicholson, Fred Yates, Bryan Pearce and David Hockney, each artist contributing to the renewed interest in figurative art by bringing their unique styles and techniques to the forefront. The balance between figuration and abstraction in figurative painting highlights its historical significance and ongoing relevance. Figurative art evolved significantly throughout the twentieth century, impacting contemporary movements and trends.

A stunning picture that was efficiently delivered to Amsterdam in a very short time frame.
From order to delivery the process was fast and efficient, especially as it was to the Netherlands.
Loved this case for my new iPhone 16 pro - it makes me smile and the vibrant colours are just gorgeous
Love it. So cheering on these dark days of winter. Thank you John.
I was looking for a print of st ives and came across John dyers work . I particularly like the colours and style of this piece , especially the fat seagulls . It’s complete fun in a frame and reminds us of happy days spent at the harbour
The print is fabulous, beautiful and my sister will love it. Thank you
Really like this picture as it brings brightness to our kitchen diner. We framed it with a white border and blue second border. Looks amazing
We love John’s pictures of France. We already have an original of Nice but bought this poster as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
Superb communication and attentiveness from gallery. The poster is of course wonderful.
Love this print - bright, sunny and makes one feel warm and happy!
Delivery was all easy and straightforward. Many thanks.
The print is even better in real life. It’s printed on beautiful quality paper which makes the colours really pop and the painting itself is simply charming. It brings so much joy to us. We love it! Thank you
A lovely art print bought as a memory of our holidays on the beautiful Isles of Scilly.
The frame is very well made and displays the art print beautifully. Ordering from John Dyer Gallery was simple and delivery swift. I would not hesitate to order from them again.
Thank you so much for the amazing customer service, and most beautiful painting of our favourite place
Absolutely beautiful painting. So thrilled with it. Completely amazing service: beautifully packaged, framed and safely delivered really quickly.
Lovely picture, bought 3 after our recent trip to Cornwall. Already thinking of getting more.
Have walked this coastal path from St Agnes to Chapel Porth and back countless time. I am now pleased that this fabulous print is the first thing I see every morning. Beautiful, happy colours. Nice frame. I’m now planning of ordering one of Mount’s Bay by same artist.
