José Parlá

José Parlá is a contemporary American artist known for his expressive and abstract works that explore the relationship between art, language, and the urban environment. Parlá’s large-scale compositions resemble city walls that have accrued years of ephemera, posters, and fliers; he blends curvy gestures, calligraphy, and personal inscriptions with blurred colour fields, using brushes, markers, spray paint, and sometimes fragments of fliers and posters.
