Lot Essay

“I try to reduce the elements represented in each category, following the great example of an artist like Giorgio Morandi, an Italian artist who spent his career representing different pots and bottles. His ability to reduce his still life to the essence of the subject makes the viewer perceive the existentiality of such a task.” – NICOLAS PARTY

“I was mainly using oil and my process was very slow. I could take up to sixteen months to finish a painting…I actually only did one show with oil paintings in 2013.” – NICOLAS PARTY
