The
art of Michael Parkes is a balancing act. On the one hand there
is the mysterious, ambiguous world of his imagination, on the other
the dazzling precision of his technique. Everything depends on the
conviction with which he visualizes his strange creatures, his angels
and devils. One thing is certain, Michael Parkes is America's leading
Magic Realist and printmaker.

ABOUT
MICHAEL PARKES:
Born in 1944, Michael Parkes is very much of the hippie generation. Though
he studied graphic art and painting at the University of Kansas, his unique
style evolved very much in isolation, after a period in which he gave
up the practice of art altogether and went off to India in search of philosophical
illumination. Earlier on, he had painted in the generally Abstract Expressionist
style normal among his teachers, but after his pause for reflection he
began to draw and paint in a meticulous style of detailed representation
which would enable him to give full expression to his inner world of images.
The style was in principle realistic, the subject matter magical, and
Magic Realism has characterized his work ever since.
There
can be few artists working today who inhabit such a cogent, unified private
world, and have such an immediate gift of inviting everyone else into
it.
