List of artists I've found working with pattern and the figure:
Contemporary
- Jocelyn Hobbie
- Awodiya Toluwani
- Francesca Dimattio
- Nikoleta Sekulovic
- Wole Lagunju
- Robert Kushner
- Chris Ofili
- Peter Doig
Historical
- Paul Klee
- Gustav Klimt
- Henri Matisse
- Jean Miro
- Niki De Saint Phalle
I have put some together on a rather over-whelming Pinterest board.
Pattern, colour and figure all in one image is a challenging combination. To harmonise or achieve a meaningul discord?
I don't know if there is a recognised are movement currently, of artists using a lot of pattern in their work but I can see a thread. It's called Maximalist in design but I don't know if that extends to the art world.
