Welsh artist Nash was a well-known painter, teacher and lecturer. He was born at Ammanford in Carmarthenshire. Tom Nash, as he was best known, studied at Carmarthen School of Art and Swansea College of Art 1949-54 and later in Paris. In his early years as an artist he won the Crawshaw Travel Scholarship during which time he shared a studio with the American abstract artist Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) and had a studio in Biot in the Alpes-Maritimes. Nash exhibited for many years with the Royal Cambrian Academy, of which group he was a member, and he also had one man shows with the Bear Lane Gallery in Oxford, Howard Roberts Gallery in Cardiff, the Redfern Gallery, and Gallery 10 Limited and the Gagliardi Gallery both in London. He exhibited in mixed shows across the country, including at the Arnolfini (Bristol) and Attic (Swansea) Galleries, and also in Europe. Throughout his life he spent time travelling and painting in France and across Europe, which – along with Wales, nature and colour – served as inspiration for a range and variety of works. Nash’s work is held in numerous Public Collections in Wales and worldwide, including the National Museum of Wales, the National Library of Wales, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea, Cardiff University and Carmarthenshire County Museum. His private and public commissioned works are also held in the collections of a number of commercial and academic bodies and organisations worldwide and he contributed interviews to television and radio Arts programmes.

Located in London, GB
This very striking exhibited Scottish Abstract oil painting is by influential Scottish artist Jack Knox. Painted in 1964, it is a vivid mix of autumnal colours, textures and brushwork that work perfectly. A brilliant example of his work from the early sixties and which was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1965. Titled and dated 21.2.64 lower right. Provenance. Exhibited Royal Scottish Academy, Exhibition 1965, Edinburgh. Condition. Oil on canvas, 51 inches by 36 inches unframed and in good condition. Housed in a gilt sixties surround frame, 53 inches by 38 inches framed and in good condition. Jack Knox RSA (1936-2015) was one of the most influential artists to work in Scotland in the second half of the twentieth century. Born John Knox to a family of tailors in Kirkintilloch, Knox studied at the Glasgow School of Art (1953-57) where his drawings were noted for their mature draughtsmanship. After graduating, Knox went to Paris to attend the atelier of Cubist artist, André L’Hȏte. During his time in Europe Knox digested the various art movements of the moment, including Surrealism, Tachisme, Colour Field and Pop Art. Visiting the great museums, he was particularly interested in Analytic Cubism and Georges Braque’s intimation, rather than description, of object. He also went to Brussels to visit the first major show of American Abstract Expressionism in Europe. He returned to Scotland eager to establish his own style, drawing on everything he had seen in Europe. In 1960 the Glasgow Herald presented an exhibition during the Edinburgh Festival of young artists from the west of Scotland. Knox was selected to show alongside George Devlin, Carole Gibbons, Anda Patterson, Douglas Abercrombie and Duncan...
