EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the iconic "Angel of the North" sculpture, created by renowned artist Antony Gormley. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of Gateshead, this magnificent artwork has become a symbol of British artistry and innovation. The Angel's colossal size is truly awe-inspiring; it proudly holds the title as Britain's largest sculpture. Its outstretched wings span majestically, seemingly embracing both the land and sky with grace and elegance. This powerful imagery evokes a sense of protection, hope, and unity. Emma Trevarthen skillfully captures this monumental masterpiece from an aerial perspective, offering viewers a unique vantage point to appreciate its grandeur in full glory. The contrast between the solid structure of steel and its ethereal presence amidst nature creates an intriguing juxtaposition that adds depth to this visual narrative. As one gazes upon this striking image, they cannot help but feel a profound connection to both history and contemporary art. The Angel serves as a reminder of our shared heritage while also embodying modern artistic expression. Through Emma Trevarthen's lens, we are transported into a world where creativity meets engineering marvels—a testament to human ingenuity at its finest. This print beautifully encapsulates not only the physicality but also the emotional impact that "Angel of the North" has on all who encounter it.
