Whether you frame it as coincidence, synchronicity or getting beaten to the punch, as amazing media bookmarking sites like dropular and the less open (but creative community-driven) ffffound continue to gain attention and momentum, more and more amazing threads are being wound into the public iris in mass and speed.
Such is the case with Miamian artist, José Parlá. I’ve been meaning to finish gathering a post about him and his work for a while, and a recent image or two at ffffound served both as a reminder and a conduit to deeper resources.
Thank the alternating nest of tangential distraction and fine focus that is the world wide webs.
While you’re at it, thank José Parlá for his unique approach to covering flat surfaces with layers of pigment that wrestles with order and chaos, the archaic and the modern, cultural memes with visible language. Then dig the resulting radness.
