Nicolas Party: Copper & Dust
Our new installation brings together recent works by Nicolas Party. Born in Switzerland in 1980, Party is well-known for his soft pastel works, site-specific murals and immersive installations. The latter are influenced by his early work as a graffiti artist, his training in graphic design and 3D animation, and his love of 18th century pastels 鈥� examples of which feature in our collection.
Within the exhibition, Party鈥檚 intimate oil on copper works comprising landscapes, still-lifes and portraits will be shown in two intimate cabinet galleries.
In the Picture Gallery, he will create a large-scale mural responding to one of the works in our collection: A Brawl between Peasants by Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp (1612鈥�1652). Party became interested in the work following extensive research into the Holburne鈥檚 collection after visiting in 2023.
