London::Jose Parla at Elms Lesters
Brooklyn based artist Jose Parla’s first London solo show, Adaption / Translation, opens this Friday, Oct. 10th, at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. To accompany the exhibit, the gallery has published a catalog. Parla will be signing copies Saturday, Oct. 11, from 11am-1pm. Here’s a nice bit excerpted from the press release:
“Jose Parla creates a visual narrative of his experiences in different cities. Through the multilayered, psycho-graphical, calligraphic nature of his work he embeds these stories in his paintings and invites the viewer to discover his visions of the environment. Parla is therefor not just a painter, but a new kind of novelist; a modern storyteller who uses wall gestures, the writing on the wall, and found advertising to reconstruct complex stories and anatomies”
