Nigel Howlett lives and works in London. He has developed a graphite cartoony style of drawing which references early Disney movies and painters such as the American artist Peter Saul. Howlett depicts hairy characters, acting out scenarios that reflect familiar social anxieties and conditions. Always humorous and sometimes sinister, common themes in the work include our obsession with technology and our relationship with social media.
Nigel also runs a set design practice working with clients which include the BBC, channel 4, Issey Miyake and Nike. In 2015 he co-founded Nan Studios, a Photographic and creative studio in Clapton East London.
London-based artist exploring the physical and emotional consequences of human relationships, employing a mixture of photography, ceramics, found objects and video installation.
I’m a graphic designer working on things like identities, books, websites, exhibitions, apparel, and other kinds of products and editions. I’m often available for commissions, collaborations, and teaching.
