DAVID NASH 24.09-13.11.11: ORIEL MOSTYN




The new season opens at the Mostyn with the first major presentation of works by David Nash to be seen at the Mostyn for two decades. It introduces to a new generation the work of one of the country’s most respected sculptors at work today. Through a unique selection of some twenty-five works, four of which are made especially for this presentation, and occupying the whole ground floor, Red, Black, Other is the first exhibition to make an assessment of the nature of colour in his work.
1) What do David Nash' sculptures remind you of?
2) Do you think these sculptures would have the same effect if they were made from rock or marble?
3) Do you think these sculptures would have the same effect if they were a different colour?
4) Looking at DN artwork for inspiration make your own wood sculpture using branches and twigs.
5) Now you have tried using wood yourself to make sculpture, go back and look at DN work again, has your opinions changed? Why?
Mae’r tymor newydd yn agor ym Mostyn gyda’r cyflwyniad sylweddol cyntaf o weithiau gan David Nash i’w gweld yn y Mostyn ers ugain mlynedd. Mae’n cyflwyno cenhedlaeth newydd i waith un o’r cerflunwyr mwyaf uchel ei barch sy’n gweithio heddiw. Drwy ddetholiad unigryw o gryn ddau ddeg pump o weithiau, pedwar wedi eu gwneud yn arbennig i’r cyflwyniad yma, â’r gwaith yn ymestyn drwy holl lawr isaf yr oriel, Coch, Du, Arall yw’r arddangosfa gyntaf i wneud asesiad o natur lliw yn ei waith.

1) O beth mae cerfluniau David Nash yn eich hatgoffa?
2) A ydych yn meddwl fuasai'r cerfluniau yma yn cael yr un effaith pe taent wedi eu gwneud o garreg neu farmor?
3) A ydych yn meddwl fuasai'r cerfluniau yma yn cael yr un effaith pe taent yn lliw gwahanol?
4) Gan edrych ar waith celf David Nash am ysbrydoliaeth gwnewch eich cerflun pren eich hun yn defnyddio canghennau a brigau.
5) Nawr i chi wneud cerflun eich hun o bren, ewch yn ôl ac edrych ar waith DN eto, a yw eich barn wedi newid? Pam?
