Black ‘n’ White By Mark Waggott

Black 'n' White

The Black ‘n’ White collection is a sixteen piece set of paintings each of which represent a different period of time in the history Newcastle United during an era that spans for over 120 years. From the first ever recorded game on Tyneside back in 1877 to the recent appointment of Kevin Keegan and his attempt to rescue the club from troubled times once again.

Each painting is done on a 12” x 12” canvas using acrylic paint and the whole set has been replicated as canvas prints of the same size. Each set of 4 can be put together to form the letters which when put together read NUFC and the story reads from left to right through each letter in sequence.

I wanted to create a set of paintings telling the history of Newcastle United in an abstract way but also have reccognisable features that fans could relate to. Some parts of the paintings aren’t clear at first but once explained I think people will understand
