Woodcut on HM-5 Gampi-shi 30gsm. Signed and numbered by the artist. Portrait With Shells (2021) by Nicolas Party is a woodcut print that merges portraiture with elements of natural surrealism. The central figure, presented in stark black and white contrast, is an androgynous face with a composed gaze. Instead of traditional hair or headwear, the figure's head is adorned with an intricate arrangement of various sea shells, including a scallop and spiraled forms, stylized in flowing, organic contours. The image evokes associations with classical portraiture and mythological iconography, blending delicacy with strangeness. Printed on ultra-light HM-5 Gampi-shi paper in a limited edition of 50, this work exemplifies Party’s fascination with natural forms and their transformation into emblematic, dreamlike symbols.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
