French sculptor Nathalie Decoster's first ever public installation in the UK is on display for the next five months, as Clifton Nurseries hosts a selection of her work within the surroundings of London's oldest garden centre and canal-side garden at Little Venice.

Decoster is one of the art scene's most famous figures in her native France and her work has earned worldwide renown. She creates huge, outdoor sculptures in bronze, aluminum and various other materials such as wood shavings and glass cloches. Her work brings form to some of life's complex subjects, in her reflections of the cycle of life and death, of nature and the passing of time. She has been commissioned by clients all over the world. In her native Paris her monumental sculptures have been on exhibit in the Courtyard at the Crillon Hotel, Place de la Concorde, The Tuileries Gardens, Place Saint-Sulpice in Saint Germain des Pres and The Trocadero.

At Clifton Nurseries, the focus is on themes such as time passing and how we deal with this differently; the relationship between human beings; the modern world; and the fragility of us all. www.nathaliedecoster.com.
