The “Hands On” collection is characterised by five main elements: the bronze figurines, the wood, the artist’s hand pattern, the geometrical elements and the crisp colours. In Aspiration II all these elements are perfectly balanced in an intriguing piece. The pattern on the circle is created by the ink stamp of his own miniaturised hand, emphasising on how his own journey and life experiences is translated into his work. The wood of the stairs is one of the standout elements of the collection and of this piece. In an attempt to represent aspirations, this sculpture with its striking contrast becomes a centrepiece.

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.
