Public Realm

THE SPIRIT OF MAYFAIR

Caudwell Properties (109) Ltd has appointed Philip Jackson to create a high-quality piece of public art to be displayed within Audley Square that is befitting of its setting within the Mayfair Conservation Area.

The bronze sculpture, which celebrates the beginning of fashionable endeavour and enterprise in 18th– century Mayfair, features an elegant lady on horseback accompanied by two stylish gentlemen engaged in lively conversation.

The intention of the sculpture is to both animate the new Audley Square public realm and retain a public square that is inspiring and enjoyable.

With a track record of delivering beloved cultural icons, Jackson’s work extends beyond Mayfair, encompassing animated figurative sculptures of sports legends like George Best, Denis Law, and Bobby Charlton, as well as notable pieces like “The Champions” World Cup Sculpture and Gandhi in Parliament Square.

It is important to note that the sculpture is not a memorial, or portrait of living personalities. While most of the existing sculptures listed above are finished in a realistic and to some extent highly detailed surface, it is Philip’s intention “to apply a looser and more sculptural textured finish that carefully hints at costume detail but is not overpowered by it. A contemporary salute to an historic moment in time.”
