Roger Raveel
Roger Raveel (Belgium, 1921–2013) was a painter whose work evolved from abstract to figurative, often depicting everyday objects. A central theme in his art was the opposition of fiction and reality. Notably, he created a large wall painting in the Brussels metro station Mérode in 1976.

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.
