Michael Parkes Stone Lithographs
Stone Lithographs by Michael Parkes
Michael Parkes’ stone lithographs represent an exceptional body of work within contemporary figurative art. Created as traditional stone lithograph prints on paper, these limited editions reflect the artist’s belief in lithography as an independent fine art form rather than a reproduction technique.
Traditional Stone Lithography as Fine Art
Each Michael Parkes stone lithograph is produced using classical stone lithography techniques. The image is drawn directly onto the lithographic stone, allowing for organic development, refined detail, and a rich tonal range that is unique to this medium. This traditional process gives every work depth, nuance, and artistic integrity.
Quality Materials
All editions are printed on 320 gsm Arches Buttery paper, a premium, museum-quality paper renowned for its texture, durability, and long-term properties. The heavyweight paper enhances the richness of the image while ensuring stability and longevity for collectors and institutions.
Master Craftsmanship and Limited Editions
The lithographs are created in close collaboration with master lithographers whose combined experience spans decades of traditional printmaking. Each work is hand-signed and individually numbered by Michael Parkes and is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the limited edition status and guaranteeing authenticity.
