Michael Parkes “Gargoyles” – Framed Lithograph, Double‑Matted
Step into the spellbinding world of Michael Parkes, master of magical realism. Gargoyles, first painted in 1985, remains one of his most beloved and recognizable works. This mesmerizing scene captures a young girl poised on a marble ledge, blowing fragile bubbles that awaken slumbering stone gargoyles into a burst of motion. At once whimsical and symbolic, it speaks of innocence meeting newfound strength—a visual story that made Gargoyles an international sensation when it was released as a poster and print. The artist’s name is part of the printed image, reflecting its origin as a high‑quality reproduction of the famed original.
Presented in a double‑matted gilt frame behind glass, this piece is ready to hang and guaranteed to be a conversation‑starter. A rare opportunity to own an iconic Parkes image that has captivated collectors for decades.
