Figurative Art

The human form, clothed or unclothed, is arguably the subject most demanding of an artist’s skill. For that reason, artists serious about perfecting and demonstrating their abilities have pursued it in virtually every medium for centuries.

Patrick and Celia Soper, with their combined backgrounds as portraitists and illustrator, have spent years drawing and sculpting the human form and never tire of its intricate subtleties and challenges.

“It is a subject with a high degree of difficulty but unsurpassed in its beauty and grace when it is done correctly,” says Patrick.

Patrick’s paintings of nudes range from the classical to the surreal and from traditional ala prima oils to elaborate themed montages. Several of his “mythological” themed nudes have been selected for and won awards in National Juried Art Exhibitions.
