About The Work

José Parlá's work lies at the boundary between abstraction and script. He draws inspiration from various mediums including music, dance, and the decay of urban architecture and advertisements. His intricately layered works poetically challenge ideas about language, politics, identity, and how we define places and spaces. In Hopeful Always, he blends curvy gestures, calligraphic line work, and personal inscriptions with blurred color fields.
