HUMPHREY

“Imagine a spider spinning its pigmented silk into a vibrant interwoven structure of synthetic pictorial organisms.”

Mark Humphrey is an English artist who has worked across many creative fields, The Independent quoted him as “A talented polymath with genuine creative urgency.” Humphrey amalgamates multiple artistic disciplines gained from lifelong creative pursuits and insatiable curiosity, distilled into a blended structuralist style using his synthetic interconnecting techniques. 

His dynamic work is created with a complex combination of intellectual concepts, inventive making, aesthetic mastery and emotional sensitivity to deliver deceptively simple, yet deeply layered and profound experiences. Saatchi wrote, “Humphrey is more creative,” which has established him as “a new super-discipline of visual creativity,” as stated by Identity magazine.

“YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN AND YOUR WORKS ARE WOW!”
