Hannes Postma is considered part of the New Figuration. It is a collective name for a group of artists who developed a renewed interest in figurative elements in painting in the 1960s and 1970s. Although they rarely appeared as a group, there was a clear common painterly approach. The 'members' of this movement wanted to breathe new life into figuration, without returning to realism.
The work was characterized by the special interest in the ambiguous relationship between representation and reality (also the relationship between abstraction and realism). The New Figuration is a new form of spatial creation: rejection of traditional perspective, introduction of spatial suggestions through painterly strange objects and abstraction into silhouette forms.
