Neo Gothic In Design
Oxford University
It dates from the 12th Century. It has a use of different geometrical shapes which makes it look really interesting as a building. It has amazing forms and textures.
Slipper Chair by John H. Belter
This chair is really rich in texture which is done with the technique called carving. It has a fantastic detailed pattern. It has a sense of contrast both in material and both in colour due to the use of brown with blue and wood with silk.
Dining room by Alexander J. Davis
Although it is made up of different patterned furniture and decorations, it happens to create an amazing composition. It is really rich in patterns and textures.
Photography by Thom Kerr
This photograph is a perfect example of neo gothic due to its black and white colours, building and fashion used.
Topshop Spring/Summer Collection 2013
by JW Anderson
The hair, clothes, patterns and shoes are all in black and white and so that is what makes them neo gothic. The design of the whole outfit is similar to the repetitive shapes of Alexander J. Davis's dining room's wall pattern.
