Cosy Chat

Inspired by his childhood in 1950s Yorkshire, Nigel has created a collection of nostalgic, evocative paintings that capture observations of life, from the mundane to the profound.

He says: "This series of four editions could be seen as an exploration of relationships at seminal moments of life: childhood, youth, adulthood and maturity.

"In Cosy Chat, I have kept the colour warm and tonality low key to create an intimate and cosy environment. The light glances across the couple and objects, picking out only the necessary amount of detail to show us what's going on. Through gesture, I've tried to evoke the murmur of their conversation and occasional laugh."
