Concorde by Richard Cresswell, Steel, Unique, 230cms high, 400cms long, 140cms deep, Aeroplane sculpture
Concorde by Richard Cresswell is a striking, unique steel sculpture measuring 230 cm high, 400 cm long, and 140 cm deep. The piece depicts an abstract representation of a Concorde airplane, instantly recognizable yet stylized. The sculpture is mounted on a stand, and its body sweeps upwards, giving the impression of take-off or flight.
Cresswell emphasizes sleekness and speed. The silver steel surface catches and reflects light, enhancing the aerodynamic form. Every angle highlights the Concorde’s iconic pointed nose and delta wings, while the abstraction simplifies details, focusing on motion and elegance.
The upward positioning creates tension and energy, as if the plane is suspended mid-ascent. This dynamic angle gives viewers a sense of lift and ambition, capturing the spirit of aviation. The stand remains minimal, almost disappearing, which strengthens the illusion that the aircraft is flying.
Though abstract, the sculpture balances realism and artistic interpretation. Cresswell transforms a celebrated engineering marvel into a visual statement, celebrating human ingenuity. The combination of scale, form, and placement commands attention, making the piece a centrepiece in any setting.
Through Concorde, the artist transforms a familiar machine into an abstract monument to speed, innovation, and elegance, merging industrial precision with sculptural grace.
