Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
Whimsical, surreal, and steeped in mystery, Michael Parkes’ The Egg Collector is a captivating glimpse into a world of peculiar rituals and curious exchanges. This delightful stone lithograph presents a scene that is both humorous and profound, inviting the viewer to unravel its layers of symbolism and meaning.
At the heart of the composition stands the Egg Collector—a regal, eccentric figure dressed in elaborate finery, adorned with wings and wielding a wand, as if conducting a grand orchestration of delicate treasures. Before them, a bird-like gentleman in a dapper top hat carefully presents a precious egg, part of an ongoing transaction where size, rarity, and fragility seem to hold great significance. Suspended from the collector’s waist, an assortment of eggs—each unique in texture and size—hints at a collection of rare wonders, perhaps gathered from magical realms or mystical creatures. Above, a cracked egg floats in midair, symbolizing creation, transformation, and the fragility of existence itself.
With Parkes’ masterful attention to detail, dreamlike narrative, and playful balance of fantasy and reality, The Egg Collector is more than just an artwork—it is a visual fable, rich with intrigue and endless interpretation. A must-have for collectors who appreciate art that sparks curiosity, humor, and imagination, this lithograph is a perfect conversation piece that will bring a touch of surreal charm to any collection.
