Swiss artist Nicolas Party presented a new major public artwork outside The Modern Institute, Aird’s Lane. Re-imagining painting’s traditional genres of still life, portraiture and landscape, Party works across media, considering the natural environment as well as social context to conceive his immersive, site-specific works.

He is interested in how paint and form have the power to alter our perception of the built environment. He regularly paints murals, either as stand-alone works or as carefully orchestrated settings for his paintings.
