Small Works
‘He reminds us – in this ephemeral age of the digital, the virtual – of the preciousness of the handmade. These are works that return us to the nub of creativity. Honest and enduring, they delight in the resilience of steel, and, above all, in the artist’s skill and wit to transform it. ‘
Judith LeGrove: writer and researcher on Modern British Art.
This section of the website showcases the wide range of work that Fell makes for himself and examples of domestic scale work that has been commissioned.
Abstract Sculpture
‘complex and aesthetic sculptural delights…exuding colour and abstract energy.’
Sir Peter Murray CBE: Founding Executive Director Yorkshire Sculpture Park
This is the work that Fell makes in the downtime between commissions. It is his opportunity to explore and test ideas and play with the material he knows so well. He works intuitively, introducing colour and challenging himself to create dynamic new forms, free to explore space, form and rhythm. Some of these works were shown in an exhibition of Fell’s work at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2020, Steelworks.
Many of these works, which are domestic in scale, are for sale (prices range from £850-£2500+vat depending on size). If you would like to know more about this work or visit his studio to see a wider selection please make contact using the form below.

Many of the works shown here are for sale (prices range from £500 to £2000+vat).
Collages
‘The process of making cut paper collages in a studio at home has opened the floodgates to ideas less readily explored as sculpture. If black provides the structure to these compositions, colour vitalises them. Reds evoke the richness of stained glass, blues the fluidity of water or light in Venice…’
Judith LeGrove: writer and researcher on Modern British Art
Fell enjoys the speed of testing ideas and structures with paper, card and wire and the challenge of using colour. Drawing on a huge range of references including architecture, particularly steel work in public buildings, the natural world or just springing from his imagination.
He makes these works primarily for himself but, many are for sale (prices range from £300-£2000+vat, depending on size). If you would like to know more about this work or to visit his studio to see a wider selection, please make contact using the form below.
