Kerry Darlington Original Mixed Media Floral Study I

Signed by Artist - Excellent Condition from a collectors Non-Smoking Home. Original bought new from a local gallery in 2017 where it has been on a wall ever since.

We are proud to present this original artwork for sale. Kerry Darlington was born in 1974 in Rhyl, North Wales. From an early age she was inspired by magical fairy tale picture books and stories read during her childhood, and held a particular fascination 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. During this period she discovered the Pre-Raphaelite artists and Art Nouveau.

She found this work so hauntingly beautiful that it captivated her completely and it still has a profound effect on her own art. In the years that followed, Kerry began to build a reputation for her original, decorative designs using 3D elements and resin which became hugely popular, focusing primarily on trees and nature. Inspiration for these was taken from the Art Nouveau period, particularly Klimt's infamous'Tree of Life'.

Today, she continues to paint themes of myth and legend, poetry and stories and is one of the UK's most collectable modern artists. Size is 33cm x 33cm (in frame 62cm x 62cm).

Location is Saltash near Plymouth. I can also provide more photos or arrange a viewing, if you're interested. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.
