St George by Martin Scorey, Wood, Unique, 137cm high by 136cm wide by 79cm deep, Body, Men, People, Animals and Birds sculpture

St George by Martin Scorey is a striking, unique sculpture measuring 137 cm high, 136 cm wide, and 79 cm deep. Crafted from dark wood, it depicts the legendary St George slaying the dragon in a dramatic, mid-air moment.

St George sits astride the dragon’s back, his body angled forward with intent. His sword pierces the creature’s wing and back, emphasizing the decisive strike. The dragon twists and contorts, appearing to collapse mid-flight. Its limbs and tail curl in tension, creating a dynamic sense of motion.

A metal pole supports the entire scene, suspending the figures above the base. This clever structure gives the impression that both warrior and beast float in the air, heightening the drama. The dark wood adds weight and depth to the forms, contrasting with the metal support that almost disappears from view.

The composition balances action and detail. St George’s posture conveys determination and strength, while the dragon’s writhing body evokes struggle and resistance. Scorey captures the climactic moment of battle, freezing it in a tense, frozen instant.

The sculpture invites viewers to circle around it. From every angle, new details emerge—the tension in the dragon’s limbs, the angle of St George’s arm, the interplay of shadow across carved surfaces. St George transforms a classic story into a visually thrilling, contemporary wooden sculpture, blending movement, narrative, and craftsmanship into one powerful work.
