David Nash
David Nash signed, wood sculpture 'Pyramid, Sphere, Cube'

About the Item

David Nash (British, b. 1945), Untitled (Pyramid, Sphere, Cube) Charred oak wood sculpture Dedicated and signed verso Overall: 7.5" H x 11"W x 4"D Nash uses unseasoned wood based on the universal geometry of the cube, the sphere and the pyramid. He uses the directions of mark-making to his favored forms: vertical for the cube, horizontal for the sphere, and diagonal for the pyramid. Although the innate character of the material is taken into account, and allowed to affect the outcome, he never allows it to dictate the sculpture's final identity. Nash even uses burners to char the wood, once again transforming the material through blackening. His work is held in the collections of many international institutions including: Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; San Jose Museum of Art, CA; St. Louis Art Museum, MI; de Young Museum, San Francisco, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, Wales; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, South Korea; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan; Tate Modern, London, U.K.; and Victoria & Albert Museum, London, U.K.

  • Barca Pez (Fish Boat) - wood sculpture by Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle
    By Pilar Ovalle
    Located in Glen Ellen, CA
    Chilean artist Pilar Ovalle's sculpture "Barca Pez," or "Fish Boat," is crafted with driftwood collected from lake shores in Chile combined with dimensional Alerce, a native Chilean wood. It can be suspended as shown or a custom bracket (not included) can be designed based on the site to make it into an exciting wall sculpture. In Ovalle’s imagination, boats embody animal forms, reinforcing the imaginative versus physical nature of the boat as a representation of travel. Ovalle says of her work, "As I work directly with Nature, combining wood already ‘worked’ by wind, water and time, with ‘elaborated’ - sawn - wood, I do this with a critical scope, dealing with ecology and progress, with emotion and poetry somehow set against rationality and technology, or setting ‘wisdom’ against mere information." This sculpture is suspended from two wires, but could also be wall hung with a custom bracket (not included). We would be happy to assist with the design of this custom bracket. Ovalle traveled to Southern Chile to study with boat builders and learn the traditional skills of the trade, which is evident in the graceful curve of the hulls she has built with traditional joinery and wood "stitches" and without the use of nails. Born in Santiago, Chile, Pilar Ovalle began her studies in 1989 at the Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo de Santiago. She studied with the Instituto through the early '90s, during which time she also won Third Prize at the XV Concurso de Arte Joven (Young Art Contest) and received grants from Fondart (National Fund for the Arts) for her projects “Sculpture with Shattered Wood” and “Curved Wood Sculpture...
