Yn dilyn o’r arolwg eang yna bydd arddangosfa Mostyn, Coch, Du, Arall yn canolbwyntio ar agwedd o waith Nash sydd heb gael llawer iawn o sylw hyd yn hyn, sef presenoldeb a defnydd lliw yn ei waith. Mae lliwiau, yn enwedig lliwiau’r ddaear sy’n gysylltiedig gyda lliwiau coed o bob math, mor gynhenid i arwynebedd a gwyneb ei waith, mae’n hawdd peidio a sylwi arnynt wrth ganolbwyntio ar ystyriaethau mwy ffurfiol.

Following on from this comprehensive overview the exhibition at Mostyn Red, Black, Other concentrates on a particular aspect of Nash’s work that has had little attention to date, namely, the presence and function of colour in his work. Colours, particularly earth colours associated with wood in all its forms, are so inherent in the surfaces and textures of his sculptures that, as a dimension of his work they may be overlooked in favour of other more formal considerations. The exhibition seeks to question this tendency, reminding the viewer of the way in which the ongoing legacy of minimalism his work embodies is bound up with questions of colour, whilst also drawing attention to much older ideas such as that of Platonic solids - and by extension, Platonic colours - which have had a critical influence on his practice.
