8 Spaces With Striking Figurative Artwork

The Mona Lisa, American Gothic, The Birth of Venus, The Scream—many of the most influential paintings in the world connect with us through a human figure. Whether representational or abstract, artwork with a human element can create a captivating presence in an interior.

We have an amazing range of figurative painting and sculpture in our collection, from Mersuka Dopazo’s whimsical cyclists to Ariel Vargassal’s photorealistic characters and Charles Dwyer’s enigmatic muses. Here are eight of our favorite install shots that show how a figurative piece can impact a space.
