EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of William Mitchell's remarkable relief mural, located in Bull Yard, Coventry. Standing proudly against the backdrop of West Midlands' urban landscape, this Grade II artwork is a testament to Mitchell's artistic prowess and his significant contribution to post-war sculpture. The abstract two-facetted relief mural, created in 1966, showcases Mitchell's innovative vision and mastery of form. Its intricate design draws viewers into a world where geometric shapes intertwine harmoniously with organic elements. From the south-east perspective captured by Steven Baker's lens, one can truly appreciate the mural's grandeur and its ability to transform an ordinary exterior space into an extraordinary work of art. Mitchell's creation not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a historical marker for Coventry. It stands as a symbol of resilience and regeneration after the devastation caused during World War II. The artist skillfully combines modernist sensibilities with traditional craftsmanship, resulting in a visually striking piece that resonates with both locals and visitors alike. Steven Baker expertly captures every detail of this iconic sculpture through his lens, allowing us to experience its magnificence even if we are unable to witness it firsthand. This print invites us on an immersive journey into Coventry's rich artistic heritage while paying homage to William Mitchell’s enduring legacy as one of Britain’s most celebrated sculptors.
