LAS VEGAS—The exhibit of artist Luis Royo and his son Romulo, featuring the soundtrack of Mitchel Johnson’s "Murder of Fireflies," is moving to a new space in Harry Mohney’s Erotic Heritage Museum, and will be open to the public until Aug. 31, coinciding with Labor Day Weekend.
The semi-permanent exhibition, having debuted in August 2023, will have an update across its entire installation. The exhibit will occupy the 500 square feet Royo Gallery space in the EHM, featuring sound and visuals, and a new seating arrangement, providing a completely immersive 360-degree sound and sound experience. Johnson is adding new music to the updated exhibition as well.
Luis Royo was born in 1954 in Olalla, Teruel, Spain, and started to exhibit his paintings in 1972. By 1980, he was publishing his comics in magazines like Rambla, and Heavy Metal, progressing to publishing his fantasy-based artwork internationally, as well as creating book covers for publishers like Tor Book, Berkley Books, and video game covers Turbo Girl and Navy Moves.
His son Romulo is a celebrated artist in his own right.
Erotic Heritage Museum director Victoria Hartmann said, "The EHM is incredibly honored to extend the Luis and Romulo installation and dedicate its own gallery to these talented artists. There are few in the art world who rival the grand and beautiful works of these two masters. Additionally, the exhibit will be enriched with the sensual and ethereal music from Mitchel Johnson's Murder of Fireflies Electronica Project, for which Mitchel is composing two new scores. It's a perfect marriage of sound and visuals and we are indeed lucky to have all three become a bigger part of our Erotic Heritage."
Hartmann added, "A bunch of bands are coming in for the weekend, plus we will have other artists on hand to add a full high-end assault on the senses. More than that I won’t say; I don’t want to spoil the surprise."
The Erotic Heritage Museum is located at 3275 Sammy Davis Jr Dr, Las Vegas, Nev. 89109. Call (702) 794-4000 or go to eroticmuseumvegas.com for more information.
