Nicolas Party, once pursued for street art, now creates murals in prestigious galleries. His latest piece at the Holburne Museum in Bath draws from a 17th-century Dutch painting, reflecting a blend of history and personal interpretation. Over four days, he reconstructed a violent scene on a gallery wall while also incorporating a second smaller work inspired by Stubbs. Party celebrated the museum's rich history and expressed his fascination with the unusual, 'grim, funny' subject matter of the Dutch piece, showcasing his evolution as an artist.
"It's great to be in a grand place like this," expressed Nicolas Party, reflecting on the significance of presenting his art at the historic Holburne Museum.
Party was drawn to the Dutch painting's 'grim, funny' subject matter, stating, 'It's not a portrait or sweet landscape, it's more unusual.'
Nicolas Party's mural, influenced by Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp, showcases his ability to blend historical elements with contemporary aesthetics.
Though much of the mural's action is obscured, Party emphasized that this addition was his artistic expression, reinforcing its uniqueness.
