Author: Party, Nicolas
This volume compiles nearly 50 recent watercolour paintings by Nicolas Party. Party's perennial subjects are familiar yet uncanny: the sunsets and tree-laden landscapes in this title are transformed through vibrant jewel-toned palettes and unorthodox compositions. His idiosyncratic approach conjures an immersive and surreal environment that is at once steeped in art historical references (Milton Avery, Ferdinand Hodler, Felix Vallotton) and extraordinarily distinctive.Party reads trees and landscapes as “constant markers, essential ingredients which always need to be used,” referring to their storied lineage in visual culture. His watercolours emerge from this historical thicket: as he explains, “I like imagining a forest made of all the trees ever painted.”
ISBN 9781949172706. Karma Books, New York. hb. 184 pages. 116 colour ills. 29 x 25 cm.
