100 FIGURATIVE OIL PAINTERS WORKING RIGHT NOW (2020)
This list was compiled by Didi Menendez and Walt Morton. Making the list reflects international reputation and acclaim or being among the best in a particular niche or style. This list is not a ranking. It exists merely to share names of contemporary high-quality artists which we enjoy keeping an eye on. This list is posted from Instagram so if an artist is not currently active there, then by default they did not make the list. Please note that we are unable to post nude figures on Buzzfeed Community. This list is in no particular order.
