Figuration Libre is a French art movement of the 1980s. It is the French equivalent of Bad Painting and Neo-expressionism in America and Europe, Junge Wilde in Germany and Transavantguardia in Italy. The term was coined by Fluxus artist Ben Vautier.

Significant figures include Remi Blanchard, François Boisrond, Robert Combas, Hervé Di Rosa, Richard Di Rosa and Louis Jammes. Between 1982 and 1985, these artists exhibited alongside their American counterparts Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf in New York, London, Pittsburgh and Paris.

Free Figuration can be translated as “Free Style”.
