..."The activities of the group Figuration Narrative were one of the most consistent statements in the artistic landscape of the sixties and seventies that followed a clear aesthetic and political logic.

The references in their images put political, sociological, ideological realities into concrete terms, and it considered art, artistic activities, to be a subversive and – at the same time - analytical discussion at with the social, political, ideological and mental situation, with the power mechanisms, with the methods of manipulation."
