Contemporary fine art realism of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Lovers by Michael Newberry

For three years, the Figure Ground pioneered contemporary realism with monthly exhibitions that featured artists from the Pacific Northwest and around the world. The project was received enthusiastically and became an oasis for the thriving community of realists in Seattle. We are now re-envisioning our website after closing our physical location.

I am inspired by what you’re doing and I think it’s more than just a gallery. I have a fierce belief that your mission is paradigm shifting, necessary, and incredibly hopeful.

the gallery promotes gifted artists who present an honest assessment of ourselves as human beings, and artwork that is an exciting breath of fresh air... that transcends the here-and-now of our politics and makes a mark in art history
