ABOUT MICHAEL ROYCE: RABBIT BOUQUET EXHIBIT
Michael Royce’s allegorical narrative-style art, which gracefully explores complex realms of psychology and fantasy, is immediately captivating in their delightful oddness. Rabbit Bouquet at Headstone in Kingston brings together 14 new paintings by the artist. These range from smaller works such as the intriguing “Squirrel Crucifixion (Desire, Despair, Desire)” (2024), which features two squirrels in a pious moment onstage: one crucified on a tiny wood cross while the other bears mournful witness shrouded in a blue cloak as billowing, start-covered turquoise curtains framing the drama.
