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. The semi-permanent exhibition, having debut August 2023, will as much see an extended run at Las Vegas’ venerable sex-positive space and undergoes an update across its entire installation.

The exhibit will occupy the 500 sq ft. ‘Royo Gallery’space in the EHM, featuring state-of-the-art sound and visuals, and a new seating arrangement, providing a completely immerse 36o degree sound and sound experience. Mitchel 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 iconic video game covers “Turbo Girl,” and “Navy Moves.”

His son Romolo is a celebrated artist in his own right.

“The EHM is incredibly honored to extend the Luis and Romulo installation and dedicate its own gallery to these talented artists,” says EHM director Dr. Victoria Hartmann. “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 are indeed lucky to have all three become a bigger part of our Erotic Heritage.”

The new Royo Gallery space will be open to the public on 8/31/2024, coinciding with a Labor Day Weekend celebration at the museum that will feature a mélange of light, sounds, energy and art.

“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,” Hartmann adds. “More than that I won’t say; I don’t want to spoil the surprise.”
