The Barnes & Noble ReviewLegendary Spanish fantasy artist Luis Royo's collection of darkly erotic paintings and sketches tells the tale of a young artist who apprentices with a master, only to enter a world of shadowy sensuality and sublime horror. The apprentice has admired the master for years but is bewildered by his latest works: 13 canvases painted black, all completed by the light of the moon. But when the student realizes that all of the paintings have arcane masterpieces hidden underneath, he becomes obsessed with the works and wanders into his teacher's "most hidden inner labyrinth." Illustrating the story of the apprentice's journey to the dark side are numerous sketches and dozens of full-color mixed-media artworks, many of which have never been published before. The new works include "Dark," "The Orc Cemetery," "The Counter of Time," "The Dark Visit," "Faerie Wars," and "The Awakening," which appears on the collection's cover. Featuring exquisitely detailed and powerfully unique visions that blur the line between dream and nightmare, Dark Labyrinth is classic Luis Royo; and like the apprentice who becomes obsessed with the haunting imagery hidden behind the black canvases, fans of Royo's latest will readily embrace the darkness within -- an absolute must-have for aficionados of fantasy art.
