Abstract figurative art is a way for artist to express the human form without an absolute whole. Colors, lines and shapes can reconfigure our perception of the human form without the lines of realism to guide us. As humans our own ideal beauty could easily be represented within a human form. Figurative art intends to create artwork that focuses solely on the human body as art. Abstraction has allowed us to reconfigure and challenge the realistic figure, replacing the guideline with freeform.
