EXPERIMENTAL ART

“I am passionate about exploring the deeply layered experience of being human, through the dynamic blend of multiple creative disciplines.”

Mark Humphrey is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning British artist. He founded Studio Humphrey, a London based creative company, in 2000. For over three decades, he has worked within the fields of architecture, interior and product design, painting, sculpture, digital and installation art. The Independent quoted him as “A talented polymath with excellent entrepreneurial skills and genuine creative urgency.”

Humphrey’s experimental art is built with a complex combination of intellectual concepts, innovative construction, aesthetic mastery and emotional sensitivity to deliver deceptively simple, yet deeply layered, engaging and meaningful experiences.
