José Parlá, Artist
Parlá Studios, in Brooklyn
“A lot of my work is made without any sketches. There’s so many layers, and within those layers, there’s a problem-solving process. Imagine the canvas to be almost like a wall in a city. People might mark it, paste a poster to it, paint it, or the weather may affect it in a certain way. I’m setting up the canvases to be vulnerable like that. In a sense, my process is kind of like the sketch that one would use to commence a work.”
