Behind the Scenes: Bespoke Commissions by Mr. Sly
Entry-Level Works — Limited Editions & Commissions
I create entry-level bespoke commissions from £2,495. These smaller pieces maintain my signature style and offer a way for new collectors to begin their journey with Mr. Sly, providing an introduction to my luxury practice without compromising on quality or detail.
Hidden Door Artwork — Valued at Over £20,000
Every so often, a collector approaches me with a request that pushes my creativity into new territory. One recent commission came from a client who wanted something truly different: a hidden door artwork. At first glance it looks like a large-scale framed piece, but in reality, it is a fully functioning door disguised as fine art. Oversized, intricate, and designed to be a centrepiece in their home, this bespoke commission is a high-end functional artwork valued at over £20,000.
3D Deluxe Artworks — From £7,495 to £20,000
I also continue to create my 3D Deluxe artworks, which have become some of my most sought-after commissions. These pieces are layered, hand-finished, and designed to stand out in any luxury collection. Current commissions start at around £7,495 for smaller sizes, with collectors frequently investing between £12,500 and £20,000 for larger, more complex editions.
Ultra Deluxe One-of-One Works — £50,000 to £100,000
For those seeking the pinnacle of exclusivity, I also create Ultra Deluxe one-of-one works, priced in the £50,000–£100,000 range depending on size and specification. These are investment-level artworks designed for collectors who want something truly rare and irreplaceable.
Bronze Sculptures — £15,000 to £50,000+
Alongside these commissions, I am developing a series of bronze sculptures. Cast using traditional methods but finished with my contemporary approach, these works bring permanence and weight to my practice. Smaller bronzes are valued from around £15,000, while monumental one-of-one pieces will be offered at £50,000 and above.
Limited Commissions for Collectors
These commissions are not just artworks — they are statements of individuality and investment-level pieces, each one tailored specifically to the collector. Whether it’s a hidden door that doubles as a bespoke masterpiece, a 3D artwork that commands attention, a bronze sculpture that brings timeless weight, or a limited edition/entry-level work introducing collectors to my practice, my focus is always on creating something rare, luxurious, and utterly unforgettable.
I only accept a limited number of commissions each year, ensuring every client receives a truly personal experience and a piece that will hold its value for generations.
