David Nash 'Black & Red, Bronze & Wood'
19 janvier - 17 mars 2012

Pour sa troisième exposition à la Galerie Lelong, David Nash a choisi le titre-manifeste : Noir et rouge, bronze et bois. Ces deux couleurs sont celles qu’il aime faire contraster dans la plupart de ses récentes sculptures en bois et ce sont celles qui dominent avec force ses nouveaux dessins et pochoirs. Le noir du bois carbonisé en surface était une sorte d’emblème de David Nash. Il est maintenant exalté par sa confrontation au rouge vif.
Ces deux matières, bois et bronze, sont celles auxquelles il se consacre désormais, établissant une liaison subtile entre elles: le bois reste son matériau de prédilection, celui de la création première, mais le bronze – travaillé à partir du bois – devient une façon de réaliser des oeuvres jouant des vides du bois (Inside/Outside) ou de conférer une puissance durable et monumentale à des oeuvres fragiles. C’est dans une fonderie du Pays de Galles (où se trouve l’atelier de l’artiste) que sont élaborées ces nouvelles oeuvres.

En 2010, une exposition magistrale au Yorkshire Sculpture Park, en Angleterre, a rencontré un très grand succès populaire et a permis de prendre la mesure de l’ampleur, de la variété et de la cohérence de l’oeuvre de l’artiste (né en 1945).

La librairie de la galerie présente des pastels et fusains sur papier, des pochoirs et des multiples en bois.

David Nash 'Black & Red, Bronze & Wood'
January 19 - March 17, 2012

For his third exhibition at Galerie Lelong, David Nash has chosen a purely descriptive title: Black and red, bronze and wood. These are the two colours that he likes to contrast in most of his recent wood sculptures, and they dominate his new drawings and stencils. The black of charred wood had become a sort of leitmotif for David Nash and its encounter with bright red has taken it to new heights.
These two materials, wood and bronze, are his current passion, and he has established a subtle link between them: wood remains his material of choice, of primary creation, whilst bronze - which is sculpted from the wood - becomes a way of creating sculptures that play with the voids in wood (Inside/Outside) or a means of offering enduring and monumental strength to fragile structures. These new pieces are produced in a foundry in Wales, near the artist’s workshop. In 2010, a rich exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in England met with great popular success and allowed the scale, variety and coherence of the artist's work (he was born in 1945) to be appreciated.

In the bookshop, the gallery is presenting his pastels and charcoals on paper, plus stencils and multiples on wood.
