In exuberant colours Nicolas Party reimagined the gallery spaces beyond the limitations of a canvas. The exhibition Boys and Pastels is rather a "Gesamtkunstwerk" which encompasses murals, paintings and created a unique experience for the viewer. The Lausanne-born artist graduated from the MFA programme at the School of Art Glasgow, where he moved from his graffiti practice into paining with pastels.The exhibition’s lightness and intensity, is a contemporary "Gesamtkunstwerk" with strong references of art-historical motives.
