Former IN:SIGHT finalist Nigel Humphries is passionate about revolutionising the way we view still-life painting. His style, in his own words, is “traditional, but with a quirky element”.
For each piece, he sets up a miniature theatre stage with crumpled paper for the backdrop and the star of the show lit up in the centre. The initial layout is outlined on the canvas in William charcoal before oil paint is applied onto a fine-grain linen canvas panel, which allows him to capture details.
By researching details like outfits and stage props, Nigel has recreated iconic moments in music history whilst capturing their spirit and personas.
“My aim is to make people smile when they look at my work. I want to bring a sense of nostalgia and happiness.”

Recreating a child's enjoyment of creating their own adventures with figurines and imagination, Nigel's artworks allow us to revisit the awe and wonder of our younger years. His adorable miniature paintings capture some of the world's most iconic characters, from Marvel and DC Comics superheroes to real-life music stars and the cast of the Star Wars saga.
In 1995, we opened our first-ever gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. With just one goal in mind - to make our art accessible to all - our fledgling company began to spread its roots.
Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.
Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
