Please behold... The Alchemist's Folly! My first large-scale immersive outdoor sculpture, presented at Collectible Fair's 2024 inaugural NYC debut.

A year ago, Harry Heissmann asked what I thought of building something along the lines of a giant outdoor strawberry gazebo. I continually tried to evoke a more abstract feeling, and over the six months it took to sculpt it entirely by hand in my home studio, it organically developed, constantly changing and shifting. I was looking at Surrealist painters, specifically Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning, and of course, Hieronymus Bosch and his otherworldly strawberries.

I wanted the piece to feel as if it was in this ethereal moment of transition, one that pulls you in, envelops you, and transports you to another place.

There are a few Easter eggs in the name if you know what to look for, but I was mainly thinking about alchemy—the supposed transformation of matter or a seemingly magical process of creation or combination. Whereas a folly is "a costly ornamental building with no practical purpose, especially a tower or mock-Gothic ruin built in a large garden or park." Historically, follies were built on estates to resemble fake ruins and look as if they’d always been there. And with the passage of time, they would. BUT a folly can also be a foolish idea or mistake, which was quite funny to me!

Thanks again to everyone who came out to see Alchemist's Folly at @collectiblefair! I'm back in the studio and working away on new pieces but had to share these detail shots @matthewgordonstudio (photos) got. I Love how they turned out. And another big thank you to Designer @harryheissmann and our wonderful client, without whom this piece would not exist! <3 by @nicholas_devlin

This vanity doesn't have a name yet but it is a special one. It was made for @nicoleabetitus, someone who truly understands what it means to love art and support artists, and it simply would not exist without her by @nicholas_devlin
