‘MoonBear’ joins Kerry Darlington’s seminal ‘Classic Folklore’ collection in which the artist revisits her iconic motif of a sleeping girl with a giant bear. Conveying a sense of peace and protection, the composition is a vision of trust bathed in moonlight.
Associated with the mountain spirits of Northern Japan, the Moon Bear is considered a sacred being. With incredible folklore surrounding its mythical crescent moon markings which appear on its chest, it is said that the bear received a silk-wrapped amulet which left the mark after being removed. Though the moon marking may not be visible within Darlington’s piece, it is still imbued with the mystery and magic of its namesake

Trading for over 30 years, we have made art our passion. Therefore we have developed a strict set of standards for the safe storage and dispatch of our precious works to our collectors. Our meticulous 12-point checklist ensures every work upholds our exacting quality standards when dispatching one of our artworks.
Starting at dispatch from the artist's studio, we've worked together with our community of artists to ensure delivery to the gallery is as meticulous as possible - each work packaged safe transit.
Upon arrival in our Weybridge showroom, each new arrival is examined by the studio & dispatch team. Frames are scrutinised for a perfect finish: glass is polished to perfection with anti-static art cloths. Auxiliary features like the string/wire and certification on the reverse are checked for positioning and correct mounting. Finally, the work itself is inspected to ensure a flawless transition from studio to gallery. Upon purchase, the work is cleaned again and meticulously subjected to our trademark 12-point checking system to ensure a safe secure journey to its ultimate destination.
With a network of framers, restorers, conservators and art dealers with over 50-years experience in the industry, you can rest assured your world-class art receives the highest level of scrutiny and care.
