Robert Combas (b. 1957 France) is a French artist and a leading figure in the Figuration Libre movement, which emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction against the austerity of conceptual and minimalist art. Combas’s work is characterized by its vibrant, chaotic energy, bold colors, and a blend of high and low culture, often drawing on comic strips, graffiti, rock music, and everyday life. His paintings are densely populated with figures, patterns, and text, creating a dynamic, almost frenetic visual experience. Combas's style is playful yet deeply expressive, addressing themes such as violence, sexuality, and the human condition with both humor and intensity. As a pioneer of contemporary French art, Combas has significantly influenced the development of figurative painting in Europe. (Artist website)

What is Figuration Libre?
Figuration Libre is an art movement that is equivalent to the French Bad Painting and Neo-Expressionism in Europe and America. The term was coined by Ben Vautier and the Fluxus movement. In 1981, Robert Combas, François Boisrond, Hervé Di Rosa, and Rémi Blanchard formed the Figuration Libre group. The term can be interpreted as free style art, emphasizing spontaneity, freedom, and a rejection of traditional artistic conventions.
