David Nash Unveils Bronze Sculptures at Galerie Lelong in Paris

British sculptor David Nash, born in 1945 in Esher, England, presents his seventh exhibition at Galerie Lelong in Paris, centered on bronze—a material he previously used mainly for outdoor conservation. The show features about ten bronzes, plus pastels, demonstrating his formal vocabulary through varied colors, forms, and scales. Works range from the carmine-red oblong Lined Red Egg to the green pierced Cross Column (260 x 66 x 46 cm), the Celtic-signed Celti Column, and the stacked black spheres of Raised ring. Nash's signature voids and crosses create geometric figures and contrasts, heightened by black patinas evoking burnt wood and charcoal. He describes dead trees as 'a quarry of wood,' carving forms that echo their history. Chainsaw cuts sometimes texture surfaces, as in the vertical stump Night form. Small raw sculptures and red pastels are displayed in Daniel Lelong's former salon. Prices are deemed reasonable: pastels €6,000–15,000; small wood sculptures €12,000–18,000; bronzes €20,000–200,000.
