Public Commissions
George Fell has been working with his father, mentor and business partner, Brian Fell since he was in his late teens. Together they have created many landmark sculptures that are installed around the UK. Below are some examples of public artworks that they have created.
Edward’s Elephant - Knowsley
Edward’s Elephant is a 30 foot tall steel sculpture of an elephant in a viking boat in the centre of Kirby. The public artwork combines references to both Edward Lear’s Nonsense Poetry and Kirkby’s Viking past. It was the first public commission undertaken by Brian and George as business partners.
Prize Pig - Maidenhead
This sculpture depicting a Berkshire Pig is made from mild steel that has been galvanised then powder coated. It was made to mark the history of award winning pigs that have been bred in Maidenhead. These distinctive black, longhaired pigs are known to produce the highest quality pork and are sought after around the world.
Royal Stag - Maidenhead
This sculpture of a leaping stag was made in mild steel, galvanised then painted. Hunting packs overseen by a royal appointee have met in Maidenhead since 1536. This sculpture depicts a particular stag known as Ceterweyd, a royal stag that the hunters were not allowed to kill. The challenge for the hunters was to try to touch but not injure this stag over the course of the day.
Spear Fisherman - Jersey Maritime Museum
This motorised sculpture depicts a spear fisherman, with each feature of his body being made up of a sea creature native to the English Channel. It was inspired by the work of the renaissance artist Guisseppe Arcimbaldo.
