Nicholas Monro (born London,[1] 1936[1]) is an English pop art sculptor, print-maker and art teacher.[2] He is notable for being one of the few British pop artists to work in sculpture[2] and is known for his use of fibreglass.[2]
Monro studied art at the Chelsea School of Art[2] from 1958-1961.[1] After graduating he began teaching at Swindon School of Art,[2] then returned to Chelsea School of Art in 1968.[2]
In 1969 he received an Arts Council Award[3] and was included in the exhibition Pop Art Re-Assessed at the Hayward Gallery.[3]
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[4] and, in the same year, "British Pop Art 1956-1972" at the Galleria Civica di Modena.[2]
