The installation is a design of Chinese Soldiers, one carrying a rifle with a rose in the barrel and a central white dove signifying peace. It is by the American street artist, Shepard Fairey, who became famous for his 'Hope' poster of Barak Obama in 2008. He started out on his graffiti career with the Obey Giant sticker campaign in 1989. His style is heavily influenced by advertising and propaganda, which his work tends to criticise. Nexus, the operator of Tyne & Wear Metro first displayed works by Fairey as part of the Baltic Art Centre's, Spank the Monkey exhibition in 2007. He was one of 12 artists who displayed work in Newcastle's Victoria Tunnel in 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey

Anthony Lowe’s tiled mural ‘Metro Morning’ depicts travellers and Metro staff aboard rush hour Metro trains. It is one of the largest tile installations in Newcastle. it was made at Ceramic Prints of Brighouse, near Huddersfield. http://www.tilesoc.org.uk/tile-gazetteer/northumberland.html In making the work the artist photographed his subjects during the morning rush hour and their life-sized portraits were then incorporated onto the mural. The final work combines a stylised rendition of the trains with photographic silk screens of the passengers. https://nexus.org.uk/art/metro-morning
