Northern Rock PLC: Cassiopeia
The dramatic growth of Northern Rock has led to the expansion of their head offices in Gosforth designed by architects Red Box.
A commitment to engage with a range of artists was taken early in the design process and five artists were selected from an invited design competition to produce contemporary works for the new office environment.
Paul Merrick approached his first major commission with a dramatic installation of 60 abstract paintings across the atrium entrance. 'Cassiopeia' creates a striking atmosphere within the sapce and Paul plans to periodically re-hang the paintings to create a vibrant ongoing project.
