Car Park Stairway
2022
Cleveland Centre, Middlesbrough
Digital print on aluminium
3 x 4m
Reproduced from an original painting, the artwork is part of two recent public art commissions for Middlesbrough town centre. Funded by Middlesbrough Council and delivered by Navigator North, this second work was installed on the Grange Road end of The Cleveland Centre in March 2022 titled Car Park Stairway.
Car Park Stairway is a painting that references the external concrete stairway that leads to the Cleveland Centre rooftop car park in Middlesbrough. The painting’s strong composition mirrors the actual structure of the stairway, the artist has then added a selection of bold colours and patterns to create a dynamic image. The Cleveland Centre was built in 1971 and is Middlesbrough’s largest shopping centre. The artist became familiar with the stairway when passing the structure regularly on her way to and from her studio whilst studying and working on various projects at Teesside University. Similar concrete stairways are a frequent architectural feature in brutalist buildings seen in many towns and cities.
