Life’s A Carnvial At Mayfair Gallery

An acclaimed sculptor will be making an appearance at a Mayfair gallery this week to showcase his highly-anticipated new collection.

Nic Joly will be unveiling Life’s a Carnival at Castle Fine Art on South Molton Street on Thursday 23rd November, from 6-8pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artist himself as well as discuss the inspirations and ideas behind his latest body of work.

Whilst Nic’s previous collections have primarily shone a torch on the darker side of human nature, Life's a Carnival celebrates the human existence in all its madness. Themes of love, laughter, mischief, curiosity and exuberance all bubble to the surface, channelled through the peculiar prism of Nic’s imagination.

The collection marks a new creative route for the sculptor. Nic has equipped each sculpture with a microcomputer programmed to work with infra-red sensors and nano LED lights to add another dimension in his work like never before.

Nic said: “The concept for this collection has been a year in the making. I have wanted to add interaction and light to my sculptures for a long time. The amount of research, testing, late nights and technology has been a steep learning curve, but one that I have thoroughly enjoyed.

“I am looking forward to launching this collection at the South Molton Street gallery. I hope visitors are able to engage with my work in their own special way. Life is a ticket to the greatest show on Earth, so buckle up and let the carnival begin!’’

Jonny Stokes, gallery manager at Castle Fine Art, South Molton Street – Washington Green’s nationwide network of high street galleries – said: ‘’This show is the first glimpse at some exclusive examples of Nic’s new work. Each piece has been created to the finest quality and really has to be viewed in person to be fully appreciated.”
