The first and highly-anticipated monograph on one of the most successful and exciting painters today.

Swiss-born Nicolas Party is an artist known for his colour-saturated paintings of everyday objects. He captures the essence of his subjects in surprising ways, heightening their physical and emotional resonance. Fascinated by the power of paint to alter our perception of the built environment and, within a gallery context, how we experience art, Party regularly paints murals, either as stand-alone works or as carefully orchestrated settings for his work.

Nicolas Party is the first book to examine his career to date and will be a must-read for collectors and followers of the contemporary art scene.
