contemporary Figurative Artists - Todd White, Darren Baker & Jack Vettriano

Artists have always been intrigued by the human form and produced figurative based artwork. The natural curves and features of the human body are a constant source of inspiration for many artists from Beryl Cook to Banksy. This is something that has spread from the art world to every magazine cover in the country so there must be a natural intrigue for humans to observe our own and other people's bodies. Three of the top artists in this genre are Texan artist Todd White and British artists Darren Baker and Jack Vettriano although there are major differences in the middle of their painting styles. One thing that is the same is their love for painting the human figure.

Artist Todd White comes from Texas and has had an inviting vocation path. He started life working in Hollywood for Warner Brothers and was part of the artistic creative team behind sponge Bob square Pants. This could account for the cartoon looks of the habitancy he paints in his modern designs. Todd White's artwork often shows habitancy in black clothing socialising and drinking wine and this could be down to where he is based. It would seem that Todd White is surrounded by Hollywood schmoozers and communal climbers and from his artwork I'd say he is not a fan.

Jack Vettriano comes from Fife in Scotland and has won countless awards for his figurative and nude pieces. Jack Vettriano pieces have a film noir feel to them painting many of his subjects in a 50's style. He often features women in his paintings often in relaxed poses or in the middle of doing something like leaving a room straight through a door. Jack Vettriano often paints characters that appear distracted, many of his pieces feature habitancy staring off into the distance or focused on something else.
