In Summer & Winter, Michael Parkes crafts a visual fable of contrast and union, where whimsy meets the weight of duality. Perched delicately atop a brooding figure, the radiant muse—part goddess, part dream—rests in languid contemplation, her hair aflame with summer’s fullness. The cool, masked sentinel below anchors the composition with winter’s silent watchfulness. Between them, symbolic creatures—a frog, a magpie, blooming lilies—conjure themes of transformation and longing. With his signature surreal elegance, Parkes invites us to ponder the interplay of season, self, and shadow in this captivating dance of opposites. A piece that both charms and challenges, it lingers in the imagination like a riddle from another world.
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.
