Kerry Darlington Alice Print

Free Gift Worth £215

With the Gold Edition of Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?, Kerry Darlington deepens the atmosphere of this curious Wonderland moment, bringing warmth, richness, and a heightened sense of presence to the piece.

Alice remains at the centre, quietly absorbed in the riddle, while around her the familiar details unfold, the Doormouse nestled close, teacups endlessly filling, and the Cheshire Cat lingering just beyond, as though part of the question itself.

Subtle references weave throughout, a glint of gold across a playing card, the suggestion of a key, the quiet invitation of “Drink Me”, each one adding to the sense that this world is always just on the edge of understanding.

Here, the finish transforms the experience. Gold metallic leaf is applied more generously across the surface, catching the light and warming the entire composition. It enhances the depth of colour and draws the eye through the piece, giving it a stronger, more luminous presence within a space.

Released from Kerry Darlington’s private archive, this edition offers a rarer, more elevated way to experience the work.

A piece that lingers in the mind as much as it does on the wall, Why is a Raven Like a Writing Desk? captures the quiet magic of Wonderland, where, as Alice herself might say, “curiouser and curiouser.”

Providing quality at every step

Experience and care with each order

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.
