Nigel’s quirky studio features a cabinet full of Funko Pop figures (all neatly labelled by character!) and a Marvel comic strip lampshade. A self-taught artist, his bookshelves are lined with books about the Old Masters, whose techniques he has spent hours studying in order to develop his own style. Passionate about revolutionising the way we view still-life painting, Nigel admires artists like Norman Rockwell and Arthur Rackham. For each piece, Nigel 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 willow charcoal before oil paint is applied onto a fine-grain linen canvas panel, allowing him to capture small details.
