José Parlá
Lately I’ve become increasingly bored with all of the buzz about “street culture” and “street art”. This is probably due to the fact that I keep seeing the same recycled styles and concepts repeated over and over. With that said, I think that José Parlá has found a way to bring more interest to the streets: not as a lifestyle, but as a location. Parlá recreates textures that occur on walls via human interaction. The most prevalent suject is graffiti, but, upon further inspection, one notices many other textures, mostly those associated with deterioration. Things like stains, cracks, and glued paper are a big part of Parlá’s work. His work does a great job of expressing how we as people are constantly creating beauty through our interaction with our environent.
