Sculpture: Angel of the North
Posted in Art, Sculpture
Some may think that angels does not exist while others have strong belief in angels. In many religions they are symbol of guardian or warrior. In Christianity, angles are the Holy Spirit which sculptures of them can be found in churches around the world.
I have found a perfect angel that is unforgettable. It’s a modern sculpture designed by internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley, named “Angel of the North”. This gigantic sculpture is located in Gateshead, United Kingdom. It is made from 200 tonnes of Corten (I think it’s some kind of steel). This sculpture stands 66 feets tall ( 20 metres) but what is so impressive is that the wing span of the angel is 175 feets ( 54 metres ) almost as big as a jumbo jet! The work of the sculpture started in July 1997 offsite and it was assembled on site seven months later in February 1998. What is also cool is that it will last for more than 100 years. The price is 800, 000 British pounds if you can afford it!
The Angel of the North aroused some controversy locally when it was finished. People were asking why an angel? The only response they received was that ‘no one has ever seen one and we need to keep imagining them’. Well whether people like it or not it is now considered by some as a landmark for North East of England. It is also one of the 12 official Icons of England. More than 90 000 visitors every day or 33 million every year…no wonder it’s the most viewed pieces of art in the world!

[...] at least I try and found an Angel of the North here. I don’t know is there any angel in this world, because some may think angels does not exist [...]
This is awesome.. Amazing at it is…
Amazing :shock: . I have never heard of it before and I even lived at England for awhile :oops:
I too think it a great piece of art, I wonder if the design is actually flight worthy?
Being a theology scholar, I found this statement a little odd, and honestly, it left me a boggled…
“In Christianity, angles are the Holy Spirit which sculptures of them can be found in churches around the world.”
The part of the statement that boggled me is “…angels are the Holy Spirit…” ??
Being raised as a Franciscan in the Catholic Church, later a Minister of a Non-denominational Church and reading multiple versions of the Bible from front to back, I haven’t come across a scripture that ever implied an Angel being the Holy Spirit..?
Anyway, I know that this wasn’t the subject of this blog, I just found the theology of that ’statement’ a little off target.
But hey, what do I know?
-Michael McClurg
It’s interesting, but an angel with no arms?
Also, just a note, but when you state that ” In Christianity, angles are the Holy Spirit”, this isn’t exactly accurate: Christians believe the Holy Spirit to be one member of three in the Godhead. Angels, rather, are ministering spirits who serve God, and are distinct from the Holy Spirit.
FANTASTIC!
