Greeting Card Red Angel

Description

Greeting Card Red Angel. An A5 Greeting card, abstract watercolour painting of the Angel of the North statue, standing beside the A1 motorway. The statue designed by Antony Gormley and completed in 1998 has come to be an iconic symbol of the North East. It is the most viewed piece of art in the country. This watercolour painting by local, north east artist Louisa E. Taylor, is part of her ‘Splash of Toon’ range of painting, depicting iconic North East landmarks and views.

Red, yellow and green are the prominent colours in this abstract painting. The two figures at the base of the Angel, really give a sense of scale of the size of the statue. The Splash paint seams to explode out from the sculpture of the Angel into the sky. The base of the painting has different bands of colour running through it. This painting of the Angel of the North, is unique in Louisa’s ‘Splash of Toon’ range of paintings as it only includes one landmark from the North East and is not a montage. This approach is carried over into her ‘Black Splash’ paintings and feature only one single iconic image.

This colourful and striking painting of Newcastle features bold, bright and punchy magentas, yellows and oranges. The inclusion of the sun and the light watercolour wash, used on the sky help to soften this painting. This piece of artwork is in contrast to some of her other work which is sometimes softer in colour tones.

Greeting Card Red Angel, comes in a clear cello bag, with a white envelope. The size of the greeting card is 210x148mm. The card is left Blank Inside for your own message.
