Painting on canvas
ART IN A BOX II - PAINT YOUR TORCH SONG is a charity art project featuring original artwork by famous names from the worlds of music, comedy and TV. The participating artists each received a bespoke art box containing all the materials needed to create the painting. The theme for the paintings was 'Torch Songs’ - inspirational songs that we turn to when times are tough and that help guide us out of the dark.
Charlie Higsons' work has been inspired by the song "Crying" by Roy Orbison.
A multi-talented actor, comedian and author, Charles Murray Higson came to fame as one of the main writers and performers on The Fast Show. Back in the early 1980s, however, Charlie was embarking on a different path as the lead singer of The Higsons, a funk-punk band signed to the Specials’ 2 Tone Records.
A later stint as a decorator then preceded a shift in creative focus that saw Charlie begin writing comedy sketches for Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse. Highly regarded for his comedy work, another change of direction has more recently seen him pen the acclaimed Young Bond series of James Bond novels, while he is now deep into a successful zombie-horror series of children’s books called ‘The Enemy’.
