“In the early days I felt very much like a duck out of water at my events, but they are now one of the most satisfying elements of my career. I get to meet collectors, and their enthusiasm and feedback pushes me on.”
– Lawrence Coulson
Nigel Humphries: The UK Tour
“I didn’t know what to expect for my first tour, so I was both excited and nervous. It was better than I hoped for, and I really enjoyed it. There was a fantastic atmosphere and a real family feel, with people of all ages showing up – including children in superhero costumes! “That fun feeling is what my work is all about, and it was great for people to make the effort to come. I love talking to people and hearing their stories – it’s my favourite part of these events. Parents bring their children, who show me their superhero drawings – it takes me back to my own childhood. “I received an email from someone who had felt intimidated about visiting a gallery, but everyone was so inviting and they were made to feel very welcome. They had a really good time.”
“Over the last few years, I’ve met hundreds of people and collectors who have supported my work, and more importantly given me the confidence to put my name to my art.”
