A note from Michael Parkes – “From all the ancient books, he was only mentioned once. When the sins and sorrows of mankind became so great all the unicorns were taken from the earth because their purity could not stand the descent into chaos. Only one remained. He believed if he stayed he could help humanity absorb the pain around them. His pure white color slowly turned to black as he absorbed the sorrows of mankind. Even a comforting angel could not convince him to leave. The unicorn has been fighting battles for centuries against the dark forces. With many wounds and his beautiful horn broken, he fights on. The Dark Unicorn remains.”
Michael Parkes is an American artist who resides in Spain and primarily works in the realm of Magical Realism. He has produced a large body of work over his 50 year career, including painting, drawing, sculpture, stone lithography, and limited edition giclee prints. His artworks are found in the collections of celebrities, discerning private patrons, and galleries spanning the globe.
In June of 2024, Michael Parkes announced he would be semi-retiring to spend more time with his loved ones. On August 15th, 2024, the last of the Michael Parkes Fine Art Editions were sold to collectors, ending the supply of new authorized limited editions of his work.
