Artists

David Nash

Press release

Galerie Lelong & Co. is pleased to announce a major exhibition of David Nash’s works on paper in collaboration with London gallery Annely Juda Fine Art, spanning 45 years of his work. This exhibition marks a quarter century of collaboration between David Nash and Galerie Lelong & Co., and the culmination of a long history of promoting his work on paper.

The artist has developed a deep understanding of trees and wood over many years of observing nature and practicing sculpture. Through his intimate knowledge of the qualities of trees, both living and cut, he has developed a unique artistic idiom. In the process, drawing has played a vital role alongside carving. What began as a tool for sketching ideas or memorizing sculptures has quickly evolved into a free and independent creative endeavour.
