How to choose your wall art:
First, select whether you’d like a fine art paper print or canvas and the appropriate size. Please check sizes carefully before ordering.
All our prints are printed using the Giclée method on a premium quality heavyweight fine art print material that has a smooth, clean finish. We chose this option rather than photo paper, as this museum-quality paper is extremely consistent and will give you a beautiful print that will last a lifetime.
Once you’ve made your selection, you will need to decide whether you’d like it framed or unframed.
Framed prints
Our framed prints come with a white mount and your choice of black, white or natural wood frames. We use classic box frames for our framed prints. The frame has a box profile measuring 20mm (front face) by 33mm (depth from wall). Each print comes with a white mount and is placed under a durable Perspex glaze.
Please note: the size listed refers to the size of the glaze and does not include the width of the frame. If you choose 30cmx40cm, this is the size of the glaze and not the image. The image will be smaller to fit inside the mount.
Framed canvas
Our framed canvases use ‘floating’ frames, with the frame sitting approximately 5mm from the edge of the canvas helping to create a floating border.
Enrique Lopez Tapia: Voodoo sacrifices
Olive baboon (Papio anubis) and hornbill heads at the Abomey voodoo market. Any wild animal that runs, flies, jumps or crawls is hunted to supply these markets for voodoo ceremonies. Travelling the roads and fields of Benin, and seeing the markets, one realises why there is an absence of wild animals - it is very difficult to see or hear any wild birds, and almost impossible to spot a monkey or any other mammal.
