Three major art pieces have been commissioned for Metrocentre Qube, all by local artists.

The first was recently unveiled on the first floor next to YO! Sushi, a striking sculpture of two giant polished steel cones named ‘This & That’, by Northumberland based artist Colin Rose.

The title ‘This & That’ came from the idea of a dialogue between the two pieces, a conversation. Each piece weighs approximately a tonne and took three months to fabricate and polish, giving it a highly mirrored finish.

Two more art pieces coming in June include ‘Outside In’, a sculpture of scattered stainless steel cubes by Stephen Newby and a community art project by artists Theresa Easton, Chloe Daykin and Chris Morton.
