Angel of the North Framed Ceramic Tile is one of many stunning North East paintings by local artist Emily Ward. The Angel
stands tall amongst the colourful grass and flowers, acting as protection to the community.
The Angel was the catalyst for the cultural regeneration of Gateshead Quays, leading to the Millennium Bridge, Baltic and the Sage. Emily also has gorgeous paintings of these available on her website.
About the Angel of the North
The Angel of the North was created by Andy Gormley in 1998 and is now a part of Gateshead's identity. It is Britain's largest sculpture and is said to be the biggest angel sculpture in the world. According to Gormley, he chose an angel for the sculpture to recognise the sacrifice of the miners who worked beneath the construction site for two centuries.
During the sculpting of the Angel it faced considerable opposition but it is now widely recognised as an iconic piece of public art. It is a symbol of Gateshead and the wider North East community. Many say the Angel has provided a huge rise in tourism and the creation of a new identity for the region.
This Angel of the North Painting is available in a wide range of products which can be found HERE.
