Magnificent wooden sculpture. // Tongue and Groove Stove by David Nash, crafted in 1983, showcases the artist’s profound skill in working with wood and his deep appreciation for its natural forms. This sculpture is constructed with interlocking wooden blocks, each cut with precision to fit together in a manner reminiscent of traditional carpentry techniques like tongue and groove joints. The earthy tones and rich grain of the wood are highlighted, emphasizing the organic texture and structure. The staggered, tower-like form creates a balance between rustic strength and refined craftsmanship. Nash’s work often explores themes of growth, connection, and transformation, and this piece exemplifies these concepts, presenting wood as both a functional material and an artistic medium with expressive potential.

What is new British Sculpture?
New British Sculpture is the name referring to the work produced by a group of sculptors, installation artists, and other creators who exhibited together in London during the 1980s. This group included artists like Richard Deacon, Richard Wentworth, and Tony Cragg. Tim Woods helped define this movement by identifying four major themes: the blending of kitsch and pop culture, the use of UK urban waste in a bricolage style, the assignment of new meanings to everyday objects, and a playful approach using wit and humor.
