FIG is delighted to present Beauty / FIGA 19.

We’ve asked the finest group of artists making fashion illustration today to consider the idea of beauty and make work that reflects their thoughts on this subject. The invitation was as wide as it was long but in the main the artists have focussed on what they do best - create imagery that turns our heads, surprises and delights.

Still Life / FIGA 18

For FIGA 18, we sent our artists back to the art room and asked them make works that could be described as belonging to the genre that is known as still life. So with brush, pencil, charcoal, crayon, chalk, pastel, gouache, ink, acrylic, scissors and glue, they’ve been hard at it, arranging bowls of fruit, vases full of flowers, shoes, perfume bottles and slices of cake!

Room with a View


At times like these we could all do with a garden and if not, a room with a view and if good fortune hasn’t provided one, maybe with our mind’s eye we can imagine something else altogether to make a drawing of, or a painting from.

Toby Mott / New Work Available

Artist, collector and founder of Cultural Traffic, Toby Mott is something of an art world maverick. Kicked out of various schools for various misdemeanours this rather bumptious public school boy had to settle at Pimlico Comprehensive a school that he would later describe as being the making of him. With a disinclination for conventional work he found himself living in a squat with a Dickensian like crowd of punks, queens, drug addicts and petty criminals amongst whom he found friendship with Marilyn, Princess Julia and Boy George.
