Angel of the North Art
Angel of the North Art is one of Emily’s favourites. She has painted many paintings of the the Angel each unique in composition and colour.
About the Angel of the North
The Angel of the North was built in 1998. It was designed by Antony Gormley.
The Angel is a huge contemporary sculpture located in Gateshead. The sculpture towers over the motorway. It is a massive 20meters x 54 meters and is said to be the largest Angel sculpture in the world.
The Angel of the North is made from heavy rusting steel. The steel represents the Steel Industry which was the backbone of the North East economy.
The people of the North East have been delighted when the Angel has been ‘dressessed up.’ There are famous photographs of the
Angel of the North with a huge Alan Shearer Newcastle United football shirt on.
Angel of the North Art by Emily Ward
Emily has painted three paintings of the Angel of the North. Her artwork is bright and beautiful and the Angel is always surrounded by a bright landscape.
Angel of the North Art with Poppies
One of the brightest paintings Emily has done of the
Angel of the North. The Angel is set in a field of poppies. This field does not really exist but Emily would argue it exists in her head.
Angel of the North Art with Flowers
This painting came about via a commission. It was commissioned by a local lady who was marrying a gentleman from Italy. The idea was Emily would paint two pictures. One of the Angel of the North, the other of an Italian village.
The two paintings were then made into Tiles with Easels and given to all the guests at the wedding. They also surprised the Best Man and Bridesmaids with large framed tiles of the paintings.
Angel of the North with Snow Art
This painting was Emily’s first of the
Angel of the North. She originally painted the picture to display in the
North East Art Collective. A local gallery located in Eldon Garden, Newcastle. As soon as the painting was put up on the walls it was sold.
Angel of the North Art is still a priority in Emily’s painting life. It is an important local landmark which is popular with the North East community.
