The Product: Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
No Liverpool city wall art collection would be complete without a nod to Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. The seat of the Archbishop of Liverpool, the Grade II listed building is one of many listed in the city. The divisive, Brutalist design by Frederick Gibberd was the winner of international competition and was completed in 1967. Rendered here as a modernist-feel line drawing, this print of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral is a striking addition to any architecturally-inspired wall display.
The Lowdown
A signed Giclée, this Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral line drawing is printed on the highest quality, acid-free, lightfast, archival, 300gsm, Minuet Cotton Rag. The heavyweight etching board is velvety smooth with a fine surface texture and is one of the most widely used media, worldwide, for artwork and photography. Using pigment-based UltraChrome and Ultra Violet (UV) inks, the Giclée printing process ensures superior detail, colours and longevity. The print comes unframed and is delivered in a cardboard tube for you to take straight to your local framer.
Styling Ideas?
Need framing advice? We’d suggest a slim, white frame with subtly visible woodgrain and a white card mount, if you wish the frame to disappear – say, against a white wall – and the print to stand out. Equally as effective is the same style of frame in black – as here – also teamed with a white card mount, to outline the drawing and act like bold, precise punctuation! The third option would be to go for a softer, warmer effect with a natural or stained wooden mount. All three will work beautifully, depending on the backdrop, and the look you want to achieve. It’s worth knowing that artworks such as these will often leap out, to striking effect, from a dark-hued wall.
