In this signed oil on canvas original by Nigel Humphries, we see one of the world's most iconic and notorious characters rendered in an extra-ordinarily magical way. In his signature style with ripped paper backgrounds and still life toys, Humphries created another universe that appeals to our inner child and magically captures the imagination and nostalgia of childhood, bringing these feelings to life on canvas. The artist told us he wanted the collection to represent the main character’s journey from his early day at the school to his final battle with the main villain. Sketched in charcoal first to achieve the fluidity and movement of the clothes, the strong vibrant colours from the flames add a subtle touch of drama!

Passionate about revolutionising the way we view still-life painting, the artist draws upon his childhood for inspiration. As a child, Nigel Humphries sketched dinosaurs and monsters, building upon his mediums of graphite, pencil, oil paint and more. Since then, his acclaimed collections of endearing miniature superheroes, sci-fi villains and iconic characters has brought to life some of the most popular characters of all time. By re-creating in still life, Nigel’s work evokes the feeling of childhood wonder and fun when playing with your own toys and of joy from these stories and quests. This endearing original is the perfect gift for superfans of the saga!
