  • Catalogue Essay

    Swiss-born artist Nicolas Party lives and works in Brussels and New York. He completed a BA in Fine Art at the Lausanne School of Art before undertaking an MA at The Glasgow School of Art. Primarily known for his color-saturated paintings and murals, he also makes painted sculptures, pastels, installations, prints and drawings. In his work, Party’s concerns lie less in the accurate depiction of nature, and more in its translation and transformation through color, materials and composition.
