John Humphreys Art for Sale and Sold Prices

Biography

John Humphreys was born in Salford and studied sculpture at Gloucester College of Art and Design, and then later at the Royal Academy in London.

Having worked extensively in the film industry, Humphreys fuses his strengths in fine art with his experience in special effects, and in doing so, creates sculptures that literally boggle the mind. His concern with distorted dimensions presents a fresh and interesting way of exploring portrait sculpture, making the viewer work hard to correct the information that they are presented with.

Although a fine art sculptor, his work in both film and television include projects such as Dr. Who, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Max Headroom and Alexander. He also made the model alien for the film Alien Autopsy in 1996; a poor quality, black and white film that launched world wide controversy around a supposed UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico.

Humphreys' work is held in private collections in the USA, Austria, Turkey, and the UK.
