Copper Angel Acrylic Painting

Copper Angel Acrylic Painting. Abstract acrylic painting of the Angel of the North. This sculpture, created by Antony Gormley is located beside the A1, Western bypass has quickly become an iconic image of the North East and is recognised all over the world. It is the most viewed piece of art in the country. The Angel sculpture is situated on a former coal mine in Gateshead and was created to celebrate the North East’s industrial heritage, from coal mining, ship building and this was where the railways were born. The North East coast was also a major centre for the production of glass products. This industry is long gone but there is a Glass Museum located on the banks of the River Wear at Sunderland. Sea glass can still be found on the beaches along the North East coast and collectors come from all over the world to collect this glass.

The Angel was constructed in Hartlepool, it was rusted and then sealed to prevent further ageing and rusting. This process is what has created the copper colour and what some locals now refer to as old rusty.

Brown, Copper and black are the prominent colours in this abstract painting, created using multiple techniques, by North East artist Louisa E. Taylor. The statue of the Angel of the North is located in the brightest part of the painting, as if in a shaft of sunlight. These acrylic paintings were produced by Louisa during the first Lockdown of 2020.
