The Marcus Ashley Gallery is a premier establishment that curates some of the world’s finest art collections. Visitors get to view impressive exhibits and mingle with like-minded people who share a mutual love for all things art. Michael Parkes art is part of the gallery’s growing repertoire of grand exhibits. The artist’s work is inspired by esoteric doctrines of the East and West that come to life in his paintings, lithographs, and sculptures.
After spending years perfecting a series of self-developed techniques, Parkes is now a master of stone lithography. In Rain, he paints a buxom angel on the precipice of a high tower, looking skyward. A swan, toad, and monkey give her company even as the pitter-patter of rain fills the air. She holds a little yellow umbrella but doesn’t take refuge under it, preferring instead to enjoy the feel of cool rain on bare skin.
Parkes relies on his signature palette of muted hues that acquire a warm finish through the stone lithography process. Distinct sketching and translucent layers of paint impart a lovely vintage finish. The artist captures a simple composition of value and form in this litho print. Rain will add a calming aesthetic to a grand residential or commercial space.
