In his new collection of work, Nic has challenged conventional notions of scale, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, and has created an entire universe within the palm of his hand. The Next Chapter references Nic’s evolving creative journey with his progressive techniques, unexplored themes and sentiments yet to be unravelled and miniaturised.
With references to past works as Nic reflects on the last decade and his past creations, the spirit of experimentation and the passion for self-expression are at the core of this new collection. ‘Be Brave’ incorporates a map being built and assembled by the small figures in the piece.
Maps serve as powerful symbols of personal journeys, both physical and emotional. Nic has projected geographical references intertwined with the inner landscape of the human experience in this beautiful, limited-edition piece. It is representative that the people around us help develop, guide and collaboratively build our journeys.
The title, “Be Brave”, enthuses us to follow our path and experience our personal journey to the fullest. This piece serves as a reminder that our life’s journey is an ever-evolving, multi faceted exploration of the world and ourselves. Whether it's capturing the essence of a fleeting moment, reimagining historical scenes, or interpreting fictional scenes, Nic’s possesses a unique ability to communicate subtlety.
The limited edition invites viewers to pause, ponder, and marvel at the astonishing world of small wonders, reminding us that beauty and creativity can be found even in the tiniest of details, encouraging an intimate connection and a deeper appreciation of the artistry.
This piece is also available in a boutique edition with a larger size.

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 will be celebrating Nic Joly’s tenth anniversary with Castle Fine Art and remembering 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. The most recent 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.
In 1995, we opened our first-ever gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. With just one goal in mind - to make our art accessible to all - our fledgling company began to spread its roots.
Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.
Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
