This lot consists of a group of four painted figures by artist Greg Dawson, each depicting a stylized human figure rendered in animated, expressive poses. The figures vary in costume, stance, and gesture, suggesting theatrical, folkloric, or narrative influences within Dawson’s work.
Each figure is individually modeled and hand-painted in vivid polychrome colors, with attention to character and movement. The figures differ slightly in scale and form, indicating they were conceived as individual works rather than exact multiples, yet they function cohesively as a unified group when displayed together.
The playful exaggeration of posture and gesture reflects a mid-20th-century decorative and illustrative sensibility, aligning with studio figural traditions that emphasize personality and visual storytelling.
