Unlike the neutral palette typically associated with the traditional ballet costume, this touching artwork has incorporated vibrant colours for the delicate tulle. Showing the female figure in a natural state, it is an intimate glimpse into the world of a dancer.
Influenced by the initial Realism movement in 19th century France, Nigel focuses on people in everyday settings, liberated from artificially composed scenes. He considers his work a form of “social realism”, and is inspired by artists like Walter Sickert, Édouard Vuillard and James Whistler.
It is this naturalism and dramatic colouration that creates a beautifully real grasp of his subject and the art of dance.

Nigel’s art is inspired by his childhood in 1950s Yorkshire. His touching oil paintings were a talking point at our Summer Exhibition in 2015, where he appeared as an IN:SIGHT finalist.
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.
