Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

Every day I make more progress in technique.
- Roger Raveel

Roger Raveel’s work is commonly associated with the Pop Art movement, and his style evolved throughout his career, encompassing both abstract and figurative art. Raveel’s work was renowned for blurring the lines between reality and fiction - a lot of the objects that he drew upon for his paintings were every-day objects that you could expect to see, but he would merge subjects such as cyclists, birds and shapes: the level of the abstractions within his painting would vary with each output. Raveel was heavily influenced by fellow artist, James Ensor; one of his most famous works, titled Memory of My Mother’s Deathbed, drew comparisons to Ensor’s own similarly titled work – My Dead Mother.

What is new figuration?

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
