Framed original
Nigel Humphries’s artworks allow us to revisit the awe and wonder of our younger years as he takes his inspiration from childhood characters. Nigel sculpts this Marvel role on the page as if modelling this figurine into a tangible collector’s item. Nigel describes this piece by saying: “This was a challenge to paint because of the detail within the costume. It was a good exercise to work with a limited palette, as my work usually incorporates a lot of colour.”
