Northern Rock PLC
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.
Edward Clarke studied the history of Northern Rock and its connections with the North East of England to produce 10 photo-realist charcoal drawings of towns from Tyneside to Tees Valley.
"My landscape drawings are meticulously detailed and all convey strong contrasts of light and shade. I mostly choose compositions taken from a high viewpoint, with the North East's architecture featuring strongly."
