A touching moment of friendship is captured in this colourful artwork by the British painter. The sleek black frame gives this traditional-style artwork a contemporary feel, while the square proportions create a striking focal point.

Nigel is known for his nostalgic tableaus, beach scenes and figurative works. His influences include Walker Sickert, Edouard Vuillard and James Whistler, and he considers his work a form of social realism.

He explains: “I’d describe it as small narrative vignettes – or painting versions of film stills – which capture intimate moments in time and observations of life, from the mundane to the profound.”
