Rather than be a totally sad and very formal post, I have included images of some of Govinder’s work within the post to show the happyness and positivity which is his artwork.
Washington Green Fine Art Publishers, have today released a statement regarding Govinder’s death, it also contains the address to send letters of condolences.

“Dear Customer,
It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic death of one of the country’s greatest contemporary artists – Govinder Nazran.
Govinder died on Tuesday 30th December after an accident on Christmas Day which left him with severe head injuries.
(‘The Patriot’ by Govinder Nazran)
It is our intention to commemorate the incredible talent that was Govinder to support his family, details to follow in the next few weeks. For this reason and as a mark of respect, we have withdrawn all available Govinder art from sale for the time being and would ask all our partners to do the same.
2009 would have been our tenth anniversary of working with Govinder, a decade of the most amazing and creative art from one of the most talented, gentle and innovative artists we have ever had the pleasure of working with.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Messages of condolence may be sent to:
Jo Colley,
Washington Green,
44 Upper Gough Street,
Birmingham,
B1 1JL
United Kingdom
for forwarding to the family.

It is amazing that this year would have been the 10th year Govinder’s limited edition work was being produced, I have become so used to his work being regularly released by Washington Green, that largely one takes it for granted.
It is a tribute to the man and his abilities that he has been at the forefront of published limited edition art for 10 years.
Thank you
Russell
