“The collectors are creatures that find things of extraordinary interest and beauty. But what is so special about a strawberry, an egg, or a frog, you might ask? The collectors show a way for us to stop the grinding thoughts of our mind and simply be with a timeless flower, seahorse, or hummingbird. Every person has at least one object that will stop time for them. What is yours?” – Michael Parkes

Step into the Marcus Ashley Gallery and prepare to be awestruck by the vast art collection on display, including Michael Parkes art. The artist’s sculptures, lithographs, and paintings highlight his exceptional eye for detail and technical precision.

Parkes adds another whimsical print to his collector series with The Puppet Collector. The artist shares how collectors share a fascination and love for beautiful inanimate or animate objects or creatures. In this litho print, the dwarfed character observes a dragon’s movements as he controls its limbs with strings. It’s an odd yet amusing sight to see the collector playing the role of a puppeteer.

The litho print is diffused with a distinct blend of deep and soft tones in classic Parkes style. The Puppet Collector is the perfect pick to add to one’s growing collection of the artist’s work.
