The Marcus Ashley Gallery is the perfect place for avid collectors and curious folks to explore and acquire art. Here one can peruse a complete oeuvre by contemporary, abstract, hyper-realism, surrealism, and avant-garde artists. With the help of the staff, visitors get to discover more about the gallery’s exhibits and the artists behind them, including Michael Parkes art.
Parkes has mastered the nuances involved in stone lithography by perfecting his methods over the years. While creating art through stone lithography is a tedious technique, it’s one he is deeply fond of.
The artist reimagines the god of the afterworld and protector of graves in his drawing titled Anubis. As the female representation of the Egyptian god, the goddess appears to be guiding souls into the afterlife. She does so by strumming an enchanting melody on the lyre as they peacefully transition to another life, even as her diligent hound stands guard, protecting her from errant souls, perhaps.
Parkes perfects Anubis with richer, deeper colors that reveal more about his subjects in stark detail. From the goddess’s opulent robes with gold trim to the varying intensities of hues, this drawing underscores the artist’s superior craftsmanship.
