The Pirate Ship - Peter Pan by Kerry Darlington

Despite one of the old salty sea dogs bearing an uncanny and alarming resemblance to Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall (back row, fourth from left, baring Peter Pan), inspirational contemporary artist, Kerry Darlington has originated and painted an overwhelmingly appealing take on a fictionally famous scene, straight out of the pages of, er, fiction books.

Available here as an exclusive limited edition composition, furnished in a mixed media application complete with hand-painted 3D elements that only enhance the enigmatic illustrative piece still further, ‘The Pirate Ship – Peter Pan’ is jam-packed with visually decadent scenery and almost moving images which never cease to amaze the casual observer.

From the mermaids and crocodile to the black cat and distant-painted islanders, Darlington has afforded us an entire book’s worth of creative pictorial literature on but a canvas-based cover shot.
