Just got back home from the Parla show. The man is an absolute legend.
Work incredible, beautifully intricate, expressive and hypnotic to a degree I have never experienced from a living artist.
He had time to sign peoples book, chat and has made my night.
If you can, go see - Elms have done themselves proud.
Thank you Jose & Paul

What were the prices like?

[rosstierney]

i would be forever grateful if someone could pick me up a signed (personalised) book as i won't be able to make it to the show & it's the only opportunity i can see of owning a piece of him

please?

[onemandown72]

no idea on prices, and images fairly poor as taken on my phone to be used as screensavers.
If you like Parla go to the show, if you don't like Parla go to the show (like me with Neate I was converted). please what I post does the artist no justice, YOU MUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zippy]

hard to really see from these pics but thanks for posting.
Looks like the first one is the winner!

I might be going sat a.m. to get a signed book. If I am allowed more than one, who wants?
PM me.

Images off my phone are sh*te, you really don't get the pieces from what I have posted.

Jose Parla is our Jackson Pollack.

[ricosg11]

he is better becuase he is not only an amazing artist but he isnt a dickhead like pollock

[Zippy]

did you get a book and Jose to sign it?

[onemandown72]

Yup, all books on sale tonight signed by Parla, he also happily signed & personalised books for all.

The large 9x9 Green painting is incredible,true museum quality,the bottom of the canvas was very reminicent of the monet water lilys , a real step forward in Joses style.

Actually I completely disagree, I think my picture makes his work look better than it actually is!

Cy Twombly's series of 9 'Green Paintings' exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1988 haunt me. I mean, they take over my thoughts at times. So achingly beautiful.

Can't wait to see Jose's.

nah. Just re-read 2001 and its sequels

[guest2]

The 'special ink' in the book was def special and even though it was £90 I was happy to pay it. They were already signed, but Parla was more than happy to personalise them if asked. The book is larger than other elms publications, also thicker and complete with pull out posters, postcard and other cool shit. Fun night tonight in a real chilled out happy go lucky atmosphere. What it's all about.

Congrats to Elms.

While some flee london to be in NY, one important NY-er was in London. Great Show. Proud to be there.

[ricosg11]

i wonder if these paintings were schill bid up....lol

[ricosg11]

nice write up frankster

[guest2]

Also happy to announce that my 2ft x 2ft is still the undefeated, undisputed champion Parla on wood. He tried hard tonight but they do not quite measure up.

[ricosg11]

sure it is...sure it is. Although gorgous, that is far too small, similar to the protrusion between yer legs.

when you have such a splendid piece size does not always matter.
