The MEAM presents a new edition of REALISM NOW, an international exhibition celebrating the strength and vitality of contemporary figurative realism. Painting, sculpture, and drawing come together in a journey that reveals the diversity of approaches and languages within current realism, from hyperrealism to the most expressive forms. The exhibition reflects on the body, time, and identity, offering a renewed vision of the human condition in a world saturated with images and speed. Featuring artists from around the world, REALISM NOW 2026 invites the public to pause, observe, and reconnect with the emotion and truth of figurative art, consolidating MEAM’s role as a leading space for contemporary figurative creation.
