Exclusive Art Gallery of Spanish Artist and Son Given Open-Ended Residency at Las Vegas Sex Museum With Art Available At Point of Purchase
Las Vegas – The exhibit of artist Luis Royo and his son Romulo has been extended
for an indefinite run in its ‘Royo Gallery’ space at Harry Mohney’s Erotic Heritage Museum.
Having debuted at the EHM in August 2023, the Royo Art Exhibit enjoyed an updated move to
its 500 sq. ft gallery space at the museum in June of last year. As of this week The Erotic
Heritage Museum has announced an open-ended “residency” of the exhibit as well as the ability
for patrons to buy any piece of the exhibit during their visit.
“The EHM was incredibly honored to have first secured the Luis and Romulo installation, then
further thrilled to have been able to dedicate a specific gallery to these talented artists,” enthused
the museum’s director Dr. Victoria Hartmann. “By extending the exhibit indefinitely now as well
as being able to offer visitors the chance to buy the artwork right off our walls, we feel we are
truly championing these master artists with the full facility of all that the museum can offer.”
Regular admission for the museum includes access to the Royo Gallery, as it does for all Erotic
Heritage Museum’s exhibitions.
ABOUT LUIS ROYO
Luis Royo was born in 1954 in Olalla, Teruel in Spain. In 1972, he started to exhibit his paintings
and in 1980 began publishing his comics in magazines like 1984, Rambla, El Víbora, and Heavy
Metal. Three years later, Luis began to focus on illustration, the area in which he was to be most
successful.
Luis has illustrated book covers for such prestigious publishers as Tor Book, Berkley Books,
Avon, Warner Books, and Batman Books, in magazines like National Lampoon, Cómic Art, Ere
Comprime, and Total Metal. He has also designed video cases for the video games Game Over,
Turbo Girl, and Navy Moves.
Luis has exhibited and published his work at art shows and galleries, and across varied
publications in France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Russia, and the USA, and has been awarded
numerous prizes, including the Spectrum Silver Award (The Best in Contemporary, Fantastic
Art) the Peregrino Fantasy Prize in CTPAHHNK, and Fumetto Cartoomics Millenium award.
ABOUT ROMULO ROYO
Luis’ son Romulo is a celebrated artist in his own right. His unique and distinctive pictorial
language intertwines classical mythology and cinematic fantasy with illustration and comics
from the 1970s and 1980s, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective.
Since the beginning of the new century, Romulo’s work has been exhibited in various private
collections, through foundations and museums, like Art Forum Berlin, FIAC, Los Angeles Art
Show, CIGE Beijing China, ART International Instanbul, magazines, and books.
In 2009 Romulo collaborated with his father on the large format paintings for the oriental-tinged
Dead Moon book, published worldwide together with an I-Ching deck with his images, among
other multimedia products.
ABOUT THE EROTIC HERITAGE MUSEUM
The Erotic Heritage Museum houses more than 24,000 square feet of permanent and featured
exhibits, championing the wonders of erotic imagination as depicted through artistic expressions
of sex and love. With so much global erotic heritage undervalued, criticized, or even lost over
time, the EHM is dedicated to the preservation of as much erotic heritage as is possible to
display. Scouring the world for its exhibitions, The Harry Mohney Erotic Museum furthers its
purpose by providing space for scientific and literary functions relating to sexual, emotional,
mental, and physical health. As such, the EHM is as much an assemblage of some of the most
important sexual artifacts, tableau, and interactive exhibitions in the world as it is a one-of-a-kind
lecture and classroom space. In addition to the Museum space, the EHM’s main theatre is home
to the highly popular live show, “Puppetry of the Penis,” as well as film festivals, burlesque
shows, and more. The Erotic Heritage Museum is located at 3275 Sammy Davis Jr Dr, Las
Vegas, NV 89109. Call (702) 794-4000 or go to Erotic Heritage Museum
