Breuer-Weil’s sculpture Father features in this year’s The Big Egg Hunt 2025, in aid of Asia’s Wildlife Charity, Elephant Family. Part of a city wide exhibition in London, in partnership with Clarence Court, the exhibition trail features over 100 large-scale Egg sculptures by leading artists.
Breuer-Weil’s sculpture Father portrays a sculpted human, three-dimensional figure clutching onto the form of a giant egg. The work emphasises the contrast between the richly textured human element and the smoothness of the egg, whilst creating a powerful compact human and sculptural presence. It is rich thematically as it depicts a person as a father, originator, generator of new life, moment of conception and new beginnings.
The Big Egg Hunt is the world’s biggest egg hunt that invites the public to find the giant egg sculptures, hidden in London’s cityscapes. The sculptures will be on public view from 24 March – 27 April 2025 in historic neighbourhoods such as Chelsea, Canary Wharf, Covent Garden and Fleet Street, home to famous cornerstones such as The Barbican, Battersea Power Station, The British Museum and The Royal Albert Hall. Breuer-Weil’s sculpture Father is located near 4 Great New Street, New Street Square, London EC4A 3BF in London’s Fleet Street Quarter, from 24 March – 27 April 2025
