MICHAEL SUMMERS: IN FLIGHT Butterflies have been universally known as symbols of transformation and rebirth. In this new release by Michael Summers, we see a shift from the ‘paint drip’ series that the artist is known for, to an upward ‘splash’ of color and paint. Multi-colored butterflies spring forth from a full spectrum of vibrant color. Some are still pulling away from the paint splashes that they once were, while others have fully transformed into soaring butterflies, full of life.
IN FLIGHT Hand Embellished Giclee on Canvas 30 x 40’’ Edition Size: 130 with 95 Limited Editions 25 Artist Proofs 10 Printers Proofs
Throughout his career, Michael has focused on “creating the impossible and, more importantly, making the impossible seem plausible.”
“After all, our everyday lives are filled with wonder beauty and magic, if only we allow our eyes to see it.” EC Gallery is exclusively offering this 30x40’’ limited edition print to collectors for a starting price of only $1,200.00. With such a small edition size, “In Flight” is expected to sell out quickly. Consistently pushing the boundaries of his skill-level, and perpetually imaginative, Michael Summers is one of those rare artists who is never fully satisfied, but rather, under constant evolution. “In Flight” is an excellent example of Summers’ newest transformation.

ROYO ‘POEMAS’
Valencia, Spain, Royo makes his way to the US every other year to meet his collectors and exhibit his newest collection of originals. From a very early age, Jose Royo took an interest in art. At the age of 9 he was privately tutored in painting and by 14, he was enrolled at the San Carlos Royal Academy. In his early 20s the young artist received a commission to paint the King and Queen of Spain. From there his career took off. During his prolific career, Royo has had the rare opportunity to exhibit in museums and has had more books published about him than any other living artist.
‘Poemas,’ Royo’s latest collection, on now at our Laguna Beach gallery, features smaller works depicting his usual subject of women along with many landscapes – not typical of the artist. “Viento” [above] is an example from his ‘Poemas’ collection. Royo’s treatment of the tree is unique in that the artist does not consider trees merely ‘landscapes’ but figures themselves. “El Collar Rosa” [cover] is a special limited edition release for ‘Poemas.’ This 16x24’’ hand pulled serigraph will be offered for a show special price of only $1,050.00 – fully framed. show special price valid until 9/20/14
