Working
in wax or clay which is then cast in bronze, George sculpts a
range of subjects, with the emphasis on horses, racing and hunting.
His
work extends from the Classical imagary of the horse, through
to scenes from the beginning of the last century.
Whilst
inspired by artists such as Munnings, Snaffles and Armour, the
19thC animalier sculptors Barye, Fremiet and Bonheur, George also
draws on a wealth of personal experience of horses, having hunted
all of his life and ridden as a point-to-point jockey for a decade.
The
details and 'feel' for a horse which is clearly demonstrated in
his work can only be achieved by such a profound understanding
and knowledge of the animal.
