Nicolas Party (b. 1980) is a critically acclaimed Swiss artist best known for his distinct brand of stylized fantasy figuration. One of the most successful and youngest artists in the global art market, his auction record stands at $6.7 million achieved in 2022.
Depicting a range of subject matter from lush landscapes to stoic portraits, Party creates a celestial wonderland marked by confident compositions and his signature graphic style.
The full moon is a recurring motif throughout Party's oeuvre, enhancing the dreamlike quality of his otherworldly landscapes.
In this piece, soaring cypress trees stretch toward the moon, their grounded forms interconnected with the sky above. Despite the dark and infinite expanse, there is a palpable and boundless tie between the earth and the cosmos, rendered with incredible dynamism and a strong sense of wonder.
Today, Party's work is enjoyed in public collections across the globe including LACMA (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium (Brussels), to name a few.
