Hand-signed Canvas on Board Limited Edition Artwork by Nigel Humphries.
Based on real children’s teddies, Humphries introduces his take on the emerging artistic trend featuring classic toys with his new Party Animals collection.
Each character has found itself involved in a real-life celebration. Decorated with novelty hats and the aftermath of party poppers, the toys have a sparkle in their eyes as they look to us to explain how they became a guest at the party happening around them.
This curiosity is revealed through individual micro expressions, the slight tilt of a head, a raised eyebrow, a subtle smile. It’s this nostalgic warmth, safety and emotional connection that Humphries expertly creates by injecting animated expression into his still life subjects, whilst prompting us to reflect on memories, growth and the passage of time.
Painting in the style of the old masters, he applies thicker layers of oil paints and uses glazing and scumbling techniques to achieve rich textures, deep colours, and subtle tonal variations. The interplay of form, colour, shadow and light enhances the lifelike quality of the characters, whilst Humphries’ recognisable composition and vignette border bring a maturity and refinement to each piece.
This artwork is a hand-signed Canvas on Board and it can be purchased in a set.
