3. Nicolas Party is known
for applying his bright,
graphic patterns onto
everything from
ceramics to furniture to
floors, ceilings,
doorways, and walls.
Part of the surreal
simplicity of his
aesthetic comes from
his inspirations, some
of it comes from his
previous life as a
graffiti artist.

In oil paintings
and pastels,
Nicolas Party
creates still life
and portraits
inspired by the
likes of
PAUL CÉZANNE,
GIORGIO
MORANDI
AND DAVID
HOCKNEY,
but the Swiss
artist’s exhibitions
are anything but
conventional.
