Take Off is a black and white architectural abstract of the Lloyd's building in London. Almost every architect and architectural photographer to have visited London will be familiar with the Lloyd’s building. Designed by British architect Richard Rogers (now Richard Rogers & Partners) and built in 1986, it stands as a defining example of Bowellist architecture, where all the building’s services are located on the outside of the building in order to maximise internal space.
The building has been photographed extensively over the decades by many photographers, so my intention was to create an interpretation that was but unique and distinctive. That clarity emerged in the editing process. The resulting image resembled a spacecraft taking off, thus inspiring the name. .

Limited Edition of 3
This piece is strictly limited to just three editions. Once all three editions are sold, it will never be produced again.
Each artwork is marked on the reverse with the artist’s insignia and is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
Aluminium Dibond
Aluminium Dibond is a composite material. It is 3mm (1/8 in.) thick and has 3 layers. Two aluminium layers sandwich a black polyethylene core. The lateral face is black. An image printed on aluminium Dibond is a top-grade, robust print with a long lifespan.
It is a water resistant, durable, UV print with impressive luminosity and depth. Unlike standard framed prints or acrylic prints, it provides a matte, glare-free finish, making it suitable for brightly lit areas.
Each artwork will come complete with an aluminium artbox frame, which gives the piece a sleek, elegant, modern feel. The revers of the frame doubles as a built-in hanging rail, making the piece ready to hang.
