Ophelia (Exclusive Edition) - Kerry Darlington

Kerry Darlington – Ophelia (Exclusive Edition)

 

***Exclusive Edition of 10 Worldwide***

“I am at my happiest when painting the female form, and the character of Ophelia has always fascinated me. My figurative painting is a combination of pattern,nature, the colour of energy and an ephemeral, nostalgic subject matter. I cannot offer a more detailed explanation for these paintings, they have a title and they have a ‘feeling’. The feeling I put into the painting, then on completion the feeling that the painting transfers to the viewer, is its’ best explanation.”

Size: 56″ x 42″

Framed in a large handmade frinton frame to complement the picture

Comes with Certificate Of Authenticity

Tree of Tranquility original

£3650.00

ORIGINAL PAINTING

Mixed media painting with a high gloss resin finish. The image is embellished in 3D and has been hand worked by the artist.

Size: 43″ x 43″ (109cm x 109cm)

For the last seven years Kerry has built a reputation for her original, decorative designs which became hugely popular, focusing primarily on trees and nature.

She recently took the decision to release her book Illustrations as Unique Edition prints – the ‘Midnight Garden’ sold out within a month and her ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’ was so popular that it sold-out rapidly before obtaining high values on the secondary market. Her book illustration work is next to include ‘Peter Pan’ by J.M. Barrie and ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ by Enid Blyton.

In May 2012 she was awarded ‘Best-Selling Published Artist’ at a ceremony by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

Kerry Darlington is a Welsh artist, born 1974 in Rhyl, North Wales. She was heavily inspired by magical fairy tale picture books and stories during her childhood, and had a particular love for Arthur Rackham’s intricate pen and ink work. This influenced her to take a degree in Illustration, with intentions of becoming a children’s book Illustrator. Following this she discovered ‘Art Nouveau’ and the Pre-Raphaelite artists’. She found this work so hauntingly beautiful that it absorbed her and it still has a profound effect on her own art.

For the last seven years Kerry has built a reputation for her original, decorative designs which became hugely popular, focusing primarily on trees and nature.

She recently took the decision to release her book Illustrations as Unique Edition prints – the ‘Midnight Garden’ sold out within a month and her ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’ was so popular that it sold-out rapidly before obtaining high values on the secondary market. Her book illustration work is next to include ‘Peter Pan’ by J.M. Barrie and ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ by Enid Blyton.

In May 2012 she was awarded ‘Best-Selling Published Artist’ at a ceremony by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

On her original pieces, Kerry works with texture, acrylics and resin. She works in layers to build up depth and create more light. She uses resin as a medium rather than a varnish on the original paintings.

With her ‘Unique Editions’, whilst in essence they are prints, each one is some way unique. She creates small 3D additions which are hand-worked individually and adhered to the print. The background is also hand embellished, and all the work has resin hand-applied, making each print look like an original painting.

John Paul Cooke – Falling Light 1

John Paul Cooke - Falling Light 1

£1,250

ORIGINAL OIL ON CANVAS

Image Size: 1000cm x 1000cm

The work I create, which is in abstract form, is often derived from either a still life, floral or landscape theme. Colours, textures and form inspire me to create highly personal, unique works of art, often based on situations and experiences from daily observations. 

Inspiration is generally drawn from the earthy textural tones of the peak district, and the bright light of St Ives, Cornwall.

My work takes days often weeks to complete. Layers of paint, give history and meaning to the painting…. creating clarity, texture, tone and movement in its conclusion. 

Although simple in appearance and pleasing on the eye, the art is complex and carefully crafted … a Pandora’s box of images, texture & colour open to thought, contemplation and above all to the enquiring mind, interpretation.
