Jose' Parla' (one of my very first favorite artists I met back in 2006 when he was featured at The Koehler Gallery here in Spokane) has inspired my own work from the beginning.
Jose' has painted a phenomenal 90ft x 14ft mural that will be installed into the entrance of the World Trade Center.
There are also new paintings that will be featured in his solo showing titled, 'En Media Res' beginning tomorrow, September 12th - October 18th in New York at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery.
If you're close it's a must see!

JOSE' PARLA'/THE MYSTIC WRITING PAD
10/2006
OCTOBER 2006/Jose' Parla'!
Just this last week I was most fortunate to stumble across an absolute TREMENDOUS artist!
I was inspired so deeply by him and his work that I told a friend, I could have literally crawled out of my skin.
Straight up from Brooklyn, world renoun 33 yr. old, Jose' Parla', was and is the featured artist for the month of October @ The Koehler Gallery. On display are his works from a series entitled, "The Mystic Writing Pad."
Although being labeled as a graffiti artist, during his speech/lecture, Jose' says he considers himself more of a calligraphy painter. You can definitely see the beautifully elegant handwriting in his work, as well as the textures and layers which represent many of his personal experiences, travels and stories.
He uses a variety of canvas (Asian pottery, billboards, barns, leather, rugs, etc...) Very cool stuff.
He was also very kind, humble and down to earth I must add. Definitely worth checking out! (www.joseparla.com)
*I had no camera when I went to the exhibit, but went back another day to shoot some photos. Amazing! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
