One of Joly’s most requested pieces, ‘Recreational Drugs’ is a tongue in cheek reference to the party drug culture.
In 2024, we are celebrating a significant milestone in Nic Joly’s career: ten years of creating his intricate miniature artworks with Castle Fine Art. Nic’s meticulously detailed and whimsical sculptures have captivated audiences with his unique ability to transform everyday moments into extraordinary visual narratives. His decade-long collaboration with Castle Fine Art marks a special achievement in his career, emphasizing his innovative approach to contemporary art, having continued to push the boundaries of his medium. By revisiting the well-loved and popular artworks, this collection is a powerful visual testament to the evolving mastery of his craft.
His pieces, are crafted with painstaking precision, capturing scenes that range from the humorous and light-hearted to the poignant and thought-provoking. Each artwork tells a story, inviting viewers to engage with the miniature world he creates and reflect on the larger themes of life, society, and human nature, making his art both accessible and profoundly moving. These clever juxtapositions not only delight the eye but also provoke deeper contemplation about the intricacies of daily life.
For this special collection, Joly has created two different editions for each title which not only vary in size, but have different edition sizes: the Collector's edition, a larger artwork with an edition number of 100 and featuring more of his iconic figurines, while the Conceptual edition is smaller in size and edition number of 295.
This artwork is a 3D Wall Sculpture in a Collector’s edition of 100 and is also available in a set. An edition of 295 is also available individually or in a set.

The artist
Nic Joly
What began as Nic Joly's hobby has transformed into a passion for sculpting minute depictions of everyday life. The British artist's 3D wall sculptures tackle topics like love, sex, mental health and war in a touching and humorous way.
In 2024, we celebrated Nic Joly's tenth anniversary with Castle Fine Art and remembered the intricate details tell stories of moments lived, emotions felt, and a journey embarked upon. As Nic reflects on the last decade and his past creations, the spirit of experimentation and the passion for self-expression is a reminder that Nic's artwork is an extension of him and the thoughtful, considered miniature works he creates. Nic's 2024 collection,The Next Chapter, references Nic's evolving creative journey with his progressive techniques, unexplored themes, and sentiments yet to be unravelled and miniaturised. With renewed determination, Nic is ready to embark on The Next Chapter of his artistic journey.
