Michael Parkes
Calming The Dragon - 2009 Oil on
Canvas
Michael Parkes is a master painter, printmaker and sculptor of the surreal and mystical. Parkes is often referred to as a 'Magic Realist,' his paintings are sought after by both the novice and the experienced collector. Michael Parkes' work is exemplified by an intense attention to detail and a masterful brush stroke; the paintings take the viewer to worlds only touched on in dreams. Michael Parkes' dreams mirroring our own Michael Parkes is one of the very few artists today creating Original Stone Lithographs - the purest form of lithography. Requiring great skill to create they are indicative of the intensity and devotion that Parkes puts into his art. Spending six months in 1992 living and studying sculpture in Florence before doing his first two sculptures is another manifestation of Michael Parkes' desire and intent to maintain purity and integrity as an artist who does his own work. CFM is the exclusive New York Metropolitan Area dealer for Michael Parkes, a Missouri-born artist who has spent the last number of years working and living in Spain. |
