This exhibition celebrates the rich diversity of conceptual, stylistic, and formal approaches to depicting the human form. Figurative Explorations features drawings, paintings, and sculptures created during Harcourt’s Live Model Drawing Classes, alongside works by Harcourt’s tenant artists. Through a range of artistic interpretations, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the timeless human figure. This exhibition doubles as a fundraiser for Harcourt House with 30% of each artwork sold in support of the Harcourt House Building Maintenance Fund, and 70% will be designated to the artists.
