Ed Mell (1942-2024)
Jack Knife
bronze, 4/35
14.25 x 12.25 x 4.5 inches
inscribed: Ed Mell 4/35
Arizona native Ed Mell initially trained as an illustrator and commercial artist at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Returning to Arizona in 1970, Mell and his brother launched a Phoenix-based illustration studio while he pursued fine art painting. Known for his minimalist approach initially, Mell evolved to emphasize planes and vibrant colors inspired by nature. Mell noted, "I strive to capture nature’s impact authentically, pushing beyond mere representation to evoke its true essence." Jack Knife is Ed Mell’s most iconic sculptural work; a monumental version stands over eight feet high on Scottsdale, Arizona’s Main Street; it was modeled after Scottsdale’s official city seal, a rider astride a bucking horse.Condition
The sculpture appears to be in good condition with no damage or evidence of restoration. The surface of the sculpture has a green-gray patina; it is mounted on a dark green marble base.
