ARTIST TO WATCH:NICOLAS PARTY
A Presentation By Amir Shariat
amirshariat.at
Nicolas Party is known
for applying his bright,
graphic patterns onto
everything from
ceramics to furniture to
floors, ceilings,
doorways, and walls.
Part of the surreal
simplicity of his
aesthetic comes from
his inspirations, some
of it comes from his
previous life as a
graffiti artist.
