Art like Hernan Bas: original contemporary figurative works to collect
Hernan Bas (1978) ranks #53 in the Artprice 2023 contemporary art market report — among the world's most sought-after living artists. An original Hernan Bas is out of reach for most collectors, but you can collect original figurative works in a kindred spirit at L'Original.
The contemporary figurative spirit
Contemporary figuration brings the human presence — bodies, faces, scenes — back to the centre of painting, charged with psychology and story. It feels intimate and direct, and it reads beautifully as a focal point.
Collecting contemporary figurative art
In contemporary figuration, look for a distinctive handling of the figure and a point of view, not just likeness. Originals carry brushwork and presence; consider how the subject and mood will live with you daily, and verify medium, size and provenance.
