For 50 years, he has been guided by a creative instinct obedient to his preferred subject: trees. Often taking the form of sculptures – sometimes monumental, sometimes humbler in format – David Nash adapts to the form dictated by the trunk or branch to conceive his sculptures and installations. The other facet of his oeuvre, drawings on paper, similarly embodies this close awareness of the material. Although he does not eschew plant forms altogether, in this exhibition he favours minimal abstractions with rich colours that sing joyously.

David Nash (born in 1945 at Esher, England) lives and works in Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales. He has been a member of the Royal Academy since 1999. His work, widely represented in the major museums of Europe, America, Australia and Japan, has been the subject of retrospectives at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and at Kew Gardens in England, as well as at the National Museum Cardiff and at Towner Eastbourne.




La Galerie Lelong & Co. expose en ce début d’année 2023 un ensemble d’œuvres récentes du sculpteur et dessinateur britannique David Nash. Depuis 50 ans, l’artiste se laisse guider par un instinct créatif qui lui est dicté par son sujet de prédilection : les arbres. Prenant la forme de sculptures parfois monumentales, parfois aux formats plus humbles, David Nash s’adapte à chaque forme de tronc ou de branche pour inventer des sculptures et des installations. L’autre versant de son œuvre, le dessin sur papier, incarne également cette conscience sensible du matériau. S’il ne dédaigne pas l’évocation de formes végétales, il privilégie dans cette exposition les abstractions minimales dont les couleurs denses chantent allègrement.

David Nash (né en 1945 à Esher en Angleterre) vit et travaille à Blaenau Ffestiniog au nord du Pays de Galles. Il est membre de la Royal Academy depuis 1999. Son œuvre, largement représenté dans les principaux musées d’Europe, d’Amérique, d’Australie et du Japon, a fait l’objet de rétrospectives au Yorkshire Sculpture Park et à Kew Gardens en Angleterre, ainsi qu’au National Museum de Cardiff et à la Towner Art Gallery, Eastbourne.
