For 30 years, George Cadell has contorted steel and bronze into thought-provoking, emotional pieces for collectors and the public alike.
Artist George Cadell has a gallery as big as the United States. In fact, the U.S. is his gallery, with welded steel and bronze sculptures as far as California and North Carolina in homes of private buyers. However, it is his public art in Denton County and Oklahoma City of which he is most proud.
An Oklahoman, Cadell, who attended North Texas from 1974 to 1979 to study bronzing, is inspired by Southwest Native American culture and wildlife. For the past 30 years, he has lured collectors with his ability to contort steel and bronze into thought-provoking, emotional pieces. Whether it’s an old man’s grimace or the vibrancy of playful peacocks, Cadell captures heart-filled moments and encapsulates them at Texas’ public landmarks.

This playful sculpture, in Denton's South Lakes Park, was commissioned by the city and placed in the park in 2010. It is a steel sculpture two cranes that seem to dance with one another in the wind. Both children and adults alike find it fascinating. I have been by here many times and almost always find park goers taking a break from their walks or bike rides on the nearby benches, enjoying the sculpture.
