Title: Ange Déchu - The beautiful former Gothic chapel in the south of France that was overgrown for many a year - this is the Southward-looking composition.

From the Series: Domum Dei (2016/17)

A movement away from attending church has been ongoing for several decades now and the number of churches, chapels, and other religious buildings that are closing their doors every year is increasing. In Wales, for example, the average Sunday attendance to church has fallen to below one percent of the population.

The British have lost faith in religion much faster than many areas of the world with the most recent survey stating that Britain appeared one of the most irreligious countries on earth, with only 30% calling themselves “religious”.

In this series entitled “Domum Dei” (simply meaning house of god in Latin), I take a look at just a small handful of the forgotten and derelict churches, chapels, and religious buildings across Europe.

Location: Derelict Chapel - South of France

Small: 60cm

Medium: 84cm

Large: 110cm

XL Collector Edition: 120cm

Each size is a Limited Edition of 25 only. Each edition size includes a plain white 7cm border which contains my signature inside of it, usually in the bottom right corner.

Certificate: The artwork comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and a written historical write-up about my journey to photograph the architecture. (This can be fixed to the back of the print when framed).

Printed on: Your print is produced using high-end archival paper, a 100% cotton museum-grade white art paper by Canson. A beautiful high-quality paper that offers exceptional contrast, detail, and a wide color gamut.

Print Sizing Guide:  Frames are not included so you avoid the frame’s markup and shipping costs. The sizes offered will fit standard frame and matte sizes which can be purchased locally to allow for easy framing/matting - should you wish. My 7cm border allows for non-matte framing, which I recommend. 

Framing Guide: I always recommend a thin frame, and I would always opt for a white or black classic option, with white being preferred. My works are vibrant and it allows the works to "pop" and stand out distraction-free - Custom Framing is recommended for all sizes, as is reflection-free museum glass.

Worldwide shipping with secure packaging usually takes 7-14 business days depending on location.
