Artwork, Former Tyne Brand Factory Site, Fish Quay, North Shields
Artwork, Former Tyne Brand Factory Site, Fish Quay, North Shields
This striking artwork has been attached to the rather decrepit hoardings which were erected around the former factory site many years ago. The artwork is by PREFAB77 (also known as Peter Manning) a UK based artist whose origins and influences are in England, California and New York. His current work is "a culmination of all his influences and obsessions. Weaving small pieces of popular culture; money, street, religious, musical and political affiliations, into visually beautiful allegorical portraits, they express an abstract idea or convey a meaning not explicitly set forth in the narrative. A modern fable, a story or a warning, often political, sometimes anti-establishment but always beautiful". The Tyne Brand factory has been closed for over 40 years and the site has long been in a derelict state. At its height, Tyne Brand was the largest manufacturer of canned meat products in Britain.
