The Erotic Heritage Museum Features Famous Artists Exhibit

The Erotic Heritage Museum out of Las Vegas (EHM) has announced that they will be featuring an exclusive gallery exhibit of famous father and son artists, Luis and Romulo Royo. Featuring twenty large pieces of their works, the show will run until August of 2024.

“Throughout his long career, Luis Royo has exhibited his work at art shows and galleries in France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Russia, and the U.S.,” stated EHM’s Curator Katarina Bartley. “The Erotic Heritage Museum is excited to host this exclusive exhibition of his works and that of his son Romulo Royo.”

Luis Royo was born in 1954 in Olalla, Teruel, Spain, and began exhibiting his paintings in 1972. By 1980, he was publishing his comics in magazines like 1984, Rambla, El Víbora, and Heavy Metal. Three years later, Royo shifted his focus to illustration—the area in which he would become most successful—publishing his fantasy-based artwork internationally, creating works for the US, Germany, and Great Britain, as well as book covers for such prestigious publishers as Tor Book, Berkley Books, Avon, Warner Books, and Batman Books.

Magazines often used Luis Royo’s artwork to illustrate their covers, including U.S. magazines Heavy Metal and National Lampoon and European magazines Cimoc, Cómic Art, Ere Comprime, and Total Metal. During these years, he also began designing video cases, lending his talents to such iconic video game covers as Game Over, Turbo Girl, and Navy Moves. Luis’s son Romulo is an artist in his own right.

Two songs from Salt Lake City multi-instrumentalist/Composer Mitchel Johnson’s Murder of Fireflies project, “Safe Words,” and “Nocturnal Dysthymia,” are featured as the soundtrack to the Royo gallery exhibit. Both songs currently enjoy over twenty thousand downloads on Spotify.
