脑袋
Heads
」帕蒂从古典雕塑—以纯白色大理石闻名—出发，为他的「绘画雕塑」涂上鲜艳的颜色。这一非同寻常的举动在近年来广受关注，并且成为越来越多研究的对象。重要的是，帕蒂的创作模式打破了我们对古典雕塑中纯粹形式的定义和感知，以及颠覆了我们对大理石作为一种媒介的美学相关性的认知。在《脑袋》中，帕蒂采用了他熟悉的创作工具，将他的雕塑模糊用极简的抽象人体头部特征诠释出来，从而应和他在绘画中惯用的精简词汇。

大理石这一材质在不光被运用在脑袋雕塑中，它也用于被不同的错视画法精心绘制的基座中。除了外表华丽——大理石旁边是孔雀石和各种类型的木材——每个基座的尺寸也各异。它们有的太高或太宽，不实用；或者有的太瘦而不能独立站立。帕蒂在给出他的布展建议时曾表示，如此设计基座，颠倒了他们惯有的作用，所谓的“基座问题”，即使得整个展览都变成了他的一件装置艺术。
蜡笔和裸体
Pastel et nu
」
眼前的作品融合了当代视觉文化，灵感源自于「涂鸦」，与经典主题，静物和大师在十九世纪末和二十世纪初画的肖像。在一个庭院画廊中，帕蒂用木炭笔重新勾勒了费利克斯·瓦洛东的四肢 (Félix Vallotton’s Four Torsos (1916))，从而诠释了重复解构的愿景。彩色和框架风景叠加在巨型的裸体画上，视觉上和空间上的直面冲击为这件作品揭开了特殊的奇特体验。

在墙上直接作画的想法源自帕蒂少时涂鸦的经历，他在一次采访中回忆道：“大概是从12岁左右到21岁的时候，我有一群非常紧密的朋友；我们晚上一起出去，被警察追赶，藏东西，晚上混进闯入一些地方。这些事创造了一种我与街头之间非常牢固的联系，就像你喜欢滑板或加入摇滚乐队一样。在90年代的那个特殊时刻，参与涂鸦是非常令人兴奋的。这可能是欧洲的第二或第三次浪潮。在一个小镇上长大，我们只有一本关于涂鸦的印刷杂志，这对我们来说是一个革命性的发现，基本上我们是一直试图模仿它。”
索托博斯科
Scttobosco
」帕蒂在这个系列的作品中把他对媒介的特殊选择投射在了对自然和人造物体的超凡脱俗的描绘中。在《蘑菇画像》中，帕蒂将自己的形象与丰富的蘑菇融合在一起，在当代背景下重新审视源自17世纪荷兰黄金科学发展时期的概念，索托博斯科 Sottobosco。整幅绘画与生长和蜕变过程息息相关，以暗示进化的主题，也呼应了帕蒂一直以来实践对人类历史的思考。帕蒂的画作风格还借鉴了欧洲花卉静物画大师拉切尔·罗依士(Rachel Ruysch)的独特美学，为具有历史意义的索托博斯科 Sottobosco带来了新的活力。
索托博斯科Sottobosco，指意大利语中的林下灌丛，通常是生长生活在自然界黑暗地区的植物和动物。通过他对宇宙形式的独特视角，帕蒂发现了看似不同的领域之间惊人的联系——自然、科学、艺术和历史经典——并邀请他的观众用交替的模式重新对现实思考。

Nicolas Party: Sottobosco
Hauser & Wirth | Los Angeles, USA2020.2.13 - 2020.4.12Interview for the exhibition "Nicolas Party. Sottobosco" Courtesy: Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, 2020
同名展览“Sottobosco 索托博斯科”在今年二月于美国洛杉矶的豪瑟沃斯画廊首次展出。最新的绘画，雕塑，特定地点的壁画和建筑装置等作品营造出一个明亮的粉彩世界，但在这里迷惑着森林灌木丛下那个阳光永远照射不到的阴暗世界。除了前文评析过的《蘑菇画像》，展览的西端和东端两侧是两幅场地特定的壁画，描绘了鲜亮的原始洞穴，在森林地面和几乎没有光到达的另一个自然空间之间建立了联系。在这个看似静默黑暗的世界里，蝴蝶、青蛙、昆虫和花草从未停止过生长和蝶变，以它们自己方式精彩艳丽的活着。
这个展览空间的设计使用了教堂般的结构，通过巧妙地使用「Trompe l'oeil 错视画」技巧（一种在文艺复兴时期的壁画中通常使用的技术，利用逼真的图像产生光学和空间的幻觉），塑造出仿佛由特殊木材和大理石制成的墙面。位于展览中心的 “Sottobosco教堂”摆放着帕蒂灵感来源——马尔瑟斯（Otto Marseus van Schrieck）的真迹 “三蛇，蜥蜴和蟾蜍, 1663”。通过将17世纪荷兰黄金时代sottobosco风格的经典范例和自己对传统的重新诠释并置，帕蒂在致敬经典的同时呈现了属于这个时代对自然和未知的探索与表达。
Nicolas Party: Grotto
Xavier Hufkens | Brussels, Belgium2019.11.15 - 2019.12.21Interview for the exhibition "Nicolas Party: Grotto" Courtesy: Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, 2020
此次帕蒂在布鲁塞尔Xavier Hufkens画廊名为Grotto的展览高亮了他的三幅巨尺洞穴粉彩画。从文艺复兴时期的隐士画（Hermit Painting）到库尔贝特（Gustave Courbet）的 The Source of the Loue，还有比利时画家威廉·德古夫·德·昂克斯（William Degouve de Nuncques）创作的 The Grotto of Manacor, 1901，对地下洞穴的描写融合了许多历史和哲学内涵。受这一经典绘画题材的启发，帕蒂以闪烁的红色，绿色和蓝色创建了一组惊艳的三粉彩。尽管Grotto系列中描绘的蓝色洞穴与Degouve de Nuncques的作品有密切关联，但对色彩的结合创造了帕蒂独有的三粉彩代码（已被收录进RGB颜色数字系统，可用于感测，表示和显示图像）。色彩充斥着整个展览，视觉冲击也许使我们迷幻，不安与质疑，但洞穴，自然生物的变异，扭曲的人体模型等具象的题材使我们不由地思考死亡，衰落和恐惧。
