Fine Art Magazine - March 2018

Bathed in moonlight and magic, Kerry Darlington’s dazzling new unique edition take us to a beautifully imagined world... With shimmering trees and snow white unicorns, where nature, legend and myth combine in a luminous dreamscape. Each of Kerry’s editions has a unique flow of its own. Using the philosophy of ‘as above, so below,’ the tree’s branches and the organic shapes formed within the roots create a beautiful flow which you can see when the light catches the painting. The editions then have a layer of resin with colour, metallics and silver leaf embellishing to unite all of these elements. Kerry says: “Once I began to draw, stories and paintings were always intertwined, inseparable. I have always been a dreamer and not very good with words, so art is my way of translating the cosmic knowledge that is bound to my imagination. I like to question our old ideas of reality. We often see animals as inferior to ourselves, when in fact they are so connected to the truth and the world around us that they can be our wisest teachers when we let them. They may carry layers of ancient knowledge and lore that we had long forgotten. Knowledge that radiates from the earth, from nature and from the beings that are truly in tune with it.” BREATH OF THE WILD KERRY DARLINGTON 35
