Regarded by the acclaimed contemporary fine art exponent, Mark Davies as the unofficial follow-up to 2017’s equally Narnia-inspired, ‘For Now I Am Winter’, Spring 2018’s ‘Deliver us from Evil (Narnia)’ is especially relevant as it pictorially acknowledges the first shoots of the season which follows winter, compositionally emerging. Not least due to the White Witch’s rule ensuring the expansion of winter. According to Davies himself this brand new deluxe version of the hand-embellished and signed giclee limited edition graphically conveys the knowledge that Aslan has put pay to said witch, yet nurses scars of battle as he wanders through the woods.
The master of highly illustrative subterfuge is back this Spring 2018, and boy are we excited about the prospect of welcoming Mark Davies back to his chosen genre. Which in turn means you are afforded the opportunity to invest in some mightily impressive compositional real estate once again. ‘Deliver us from Evil (Narnia)’ sees the critically acclaimed contemporary fine artist put his unique, and darkly graphic twist on pictorial things, this time concentrating his remarkable efforts in this creative arena on CS Lewis; and specifically one of the author’s most iconic characters, Aslan. The way we see it is the title – lifted from the Lord’s Prayer, possibly – stands as a call to arms from the inhabitants of Narnia, desperate to be rid of the shackles of their eternal winter. Because unlike Game of Thrones, winter has not only arrived but has outstayed Narnia’s hospitality.
