Stephen Kettle’s Sculpture of R.J. Mitchell – A Tribute to the Spitfire’s Visionary Designer
Renowned slate sculptor Stephen Kettle brings to life an extraordinary tribute to R.J. Mitchell, the pioneering engineer behind the legendary Spitfire. Displayed at the London Science Museum, this masterful piece captures the essence of Mitchell’s brilliance and unwavering dedication to aeronautical design.
Crafted entirely from hand-layered slate, Kettle’s technique transforms stone into striking realism, with intricate textures that evoke the meticulous craftsmanship of Mitchell’s engineering process. The sculpture portrays Mitchell in deep thought, standing by his workbench, reflecting his determination in refining the aircraft that would go on to change the course of history.
Kettle’s ability to shape slate into such detailed, dynamic form makes this sculpture not just a work of art, but a profound testament to British ingenuity, perseverance, and the enduring legacy of the Spitfire.
Like many of Stephen Kettle’s large-scale sculptures, this piece was specially commissioned, reflecting his reputation for crafting works that resonate deeply with private collectors and prestigious institutions worldwide. If you are interested in commissioning a bespoke sculpture, please contact us directly to discuss your vision. Due to Kettle’s ongoing commitments to other significant projects, lead times may vary depending on his schedule. Each commission is an exclusive opportunity to own a piece of sculptural artistry that seamlessly blends history, craftsmanship, and storytelling.
