A classic poker piece with a twist, Royal Flush started with a King of Hearts painted with no heart at all, Godard's nod to Nero letting Rome burn, until so many complaints arrived that he put the heart back in. Cigar smoke swirls from the cards to the chips and circles back to the cigar, setting the whole composition on a looping path.
Royal Flush is a limited edition canvas giclée by Las Vegas pop artist Michael Godard, offered as a Signed and Numbered Edition of 300 at 24" x 30". The casino energy of cards, chips, and cigar smoke makes it a natural fit for a man cave or game room.
“This is a classic poker piece with a twist. The heart has been left out of the King of Hearts card. The inspiration for this was a program I saw on the Discovery Channel about Nero, the emperor who let Rome burn down. The king is always the guy without a heart because he has to rule, so I decided to paint a king without a heart. If you looked below the “K” on the card, there was no heart. I had received so many complaints about the missing heart that I put it back in. Every king in every other piece has a heart. If you follow the smoke from the cigar, it circles and swirls around the cards, then leads you back to the chips. The chips are arranged in a way that brings you back to the cigar, so it’s kind of a circular path.” ~ Michael Godard
