Animation & Film
From the Golden Age of Hollywood to contemporary animation practice
Figuration grew out of the award-winning practice of London Animation Studio. Ever since, our work has reflected a passion for animation and film, from our own studio productions, including The Foundling and The Library, to events such as a Moomins Winter's Eve at Dulwich Picture Gallery and a spectacular speakeasy life drawing event with Art Model Collective.
