Lucy Meets Mr Tummus | Unique 3D Gloss Resin & Paper Editions

Beyond the fur coats and the wooden doors of an ordinary wardrobe lies a world where animals speak, magic is real and a single act of kindness can change the course of history. In Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus, Kerry Darlington revisits one of fantasy literature's most unforgettable first meetings, inspired by C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

At the centre of this enchanting composition stands Lucy Pevensie, the youngest of the Pevensie children and the first to discover the extraordinary world of Narnia. Beside her is Mr Tumnus, the gentle faun whose curling horns, expressive features and familiar red scarf make him one of Lewis's most endearing creations.

The two meet beneath the famous Narnian lamppost, an unexpected beacon of warmth in a forest held captive by the White Witch's eternal winter. Tumnus clutches his parcels and umbrella while Lucy, dressed in her blue skirt and green cardigan, gazes towards him with the trusting curiosity of a child discovering that the impossible might just be real.

Around them, Kerry creates a breathtaking winter landscape. Frosted branches shimmer in brilliant blues and icy whites, while ribbons of pink, violet and golden light transform the snow-covered woodland into something almost celestial. The contrast between the frozen forest and the warmth surrounding the two figures hints at the extraordinary changes yet to come.Their meeting is not without danger. Under orders from the White Witch, Tumnus is expected to betray any human he encounters.

Yet Lucy's kindness and innocent friendship move him to defy those orders, choosing compassion over fear. It is a decision that will have consequences far beyond their first encounter.

Created as a Unique Mixed Media Edition, Kerry's magical interpretation is enhanced through intricate three-dimensional embellishments and a luminous gloss resin finish. The sculptural details bring depth to the frosted branches, textured landscape and carefully rendered characters, while the glossy surface intensifies the extraordinary interplay of icy blues and warm, radiant colour.

Limited to just 75 Unique Editions and 20 Artist Proofs worldwide, Lucy Meets Mr Tumnus celebrates the power of friendship, the courage to choose kindness and the extraordinary adventures that begin when we dare to step beyond the familiar.
