As unappetizing as it might seem to the squeamish individual, the Cock and Bull sculpture has been recently installed in a new East London restaurant, Tramshed. Not one's typical sculpture, it is a formaldehyde creation, which takes taxidermy to a whole other level. Mark Hix, the owner of Tramshed, must have a stomach of steel to entertain this amazing sculpture.
Created by none-other-than British artist Damien Hirst, who is known for his unique works, the Cock and Bull sculpture features a Hereford cow and cockerel preserved in a steel and glass tank of formaldehyde. It is inspired by Tramshed's menu, which is mainly made up of chicken and beef dishes. Elevated 4 metres above the dining tables, every seat has a view of the impressive Cock and Bull sculpture.
