2008-2009 a major project has been started on a spectacular collection
of large paintings depicting characters and scenes from the exciting
Gerald Durrell story 'My
Family and Other Animals'. This classic story of
Durrell’s early days spent with his amazing family in Corfu has
been a great favourite for generations of children and adults alike.
The story was adapted for a popular BBC television series starring Brian
Blessed, Hannah Gordon and Darren Redmayne,
more recently another BBC film was made starring Eugene Simon, Imelda
Staunton and Tamsin Merchant. Many editions
of the book have been published throughout the world.
Tony is to produce fourteen new paintings using his unique and colourful
idiosyncratic style which proved so popular with his Dylan Thomas’
'Under Milkwood' collection.
The Gerald Durrell Wildlife Foundation (GDWF),
based in Jersey, will host a two week exhibition of the finished
paintings in March 2009 as part of their 50th anniversary
celebrations. It is hoped that many thousands of visitors will visit the
island for these celebrations.
A film is being made of Tony painting his latest picture in his studio
at Chilworth, this film will accompany the paintings and will be shown
at the exhibition. Copyright of the fourteen paintings have been donated
to the GDWF for one year and talks are in place for image merchandising
including that of Jersey Pottery.
Later in 2009 a further major exhibition of the paintings will take
place at the Red Biddy Gallery,
Shalford.
Claire and David of the Red Biddy will handle all sales and
representation of the collection throughout. Queries can be directed to
them at: Red Biddy Gallery, 7, Kings Road, Shalford,
