Nicholas Monro (1936[1] – 2022)[2] was an English pop art sculptor, print-maker and art teacher.[3] He is known for being one of the few British pop artists to work in sculpture[3] and is known for his use of fibreglass.[3]

Life and work

Monro studied art at the Chelsea School of Art[3] from 1958 to 1961.[1] After graduating he began teaching at Swindon School of Art,[3] then returned to Chelsea School of Art in 1968.[3]

In 1969 he received an Arts Council Award[4] and was included in the exhibition Pop Art Re-Assessed at the Hayward Gallery.[4]

In the early 1970s, he had a studio at Hungerford.[5]

His work was included in the 2004 pop art retrospective "Art and the 60s: This Was Tomorrow" at Tate Britain,[1] and Birmingham Gas Hall[6] and, in the same year, "British Pop Art 1956–1972" at the Galleria Civica di Modena.[3]
