David Nash (B. 1959-63) at Lelong Gallery Paris until 17th March 2012

Born in 1945, David Nash studied at Kingston College of Art, Brighton College of art, and Chelsea School of Art. David's first solo exhibition was in York in 1973. An artist of international renown, his work is held in private collections and public galleries all over the world including the Guggenheim, Tate and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. At the age of 21, Nash established a base in Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, and lives and works at Capel Rhiw, a former chapel built in 1863.

2012 will also see a fabulous exhibition at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from April 2012 through to April 2013. The exhibition will open to members of the public in June 2012, with sculptures, installations, drawings and film in place throughout the Gardens, glasshouses, and exhibition spaces. Nash will work at Kew on a 'wood quarry' from April 2012, creating new pieces for the exhibition using trees from the Gardens that have come to the end of their natural life. This on-going work will form part of the exhibition, with the fruits of his labour on display from October 2012.
