For Sale Parla Mixed Media Mural 4' x 6', by snausages on Jun 23, 2009 1:34:49 GMT 1, I strongly disagree with you statement about Jose's work lacking conceptual depth. I feel Tadghostal explained quite well why his work is conceptually very strong, unique, and boundry pushing. In my own words, Jose's work has balls (bollocks, sack, guts, whatever you want to call it), history, and a uniqueness to it. In a world full of murakami, hirst and koons wanna be's, Jose's work is a breath of fresh air. Imo he outshines even those guys in a sense that he is still not diluted by his own fame. There is a honesty to his work, you can feel the paintings emitting emotion as you stand in front of them. To me, that is why he will be remembered and why his work is so polarizing.
As far as jose goes, I don't think his work is polarizing, I think what's polarizing is the way his advocates try to frame him and his importance in terms beyond expected. Like throwing his name around with names like pollock and koons.
And I understand and can see what tad was talking about as far as concept goes and I don't have an argument against it, it's fine and nice to see him put in terms, but still I just don't know how strongly the ideas he expressed will really resonate with people across the board and also as far as contemporary art goes there are some people really pushing things conceptually much more than what's going on here. Not that having ridiculous conceptual thought is necessary but just trying to put things in perspective. And again I think he does a very good job of taking what people have done before him and making it his own, but he really is just taking what people have done before him, it's just no way as innovative as any of the other artists mentioned here. Koons, Hirst, Pollock, Twombly and even Banksy have broken molds. This work hasn't. Not every artist has to break boundaries not all that many really do, it's just odd how hastily his fans try and shape the argument to sound as though he has.

For Sale Parla Mixed Media Mural 4' x 6', by keysersoze on Jun 23, 2009 5:36:57 GMT 1, snausages - what I'm most interested in is why you without fail flog Parla every chance you get? Did he wrong you personally? Did you lose out on a work through a gallery? Did you not get a commission you thought you had lined up?
Being active lurker here I read most of what is posted and what really baffles me is you rarely (if ever) have anything positive to say, period. You know they are great medications for being overly negative, right?
We know you don't rate Parla - please spare us the diatribe every Parla-related thread that his fans are advocating him too much. 99.9% of this forum can't afford his works anyway!!!

For Sale Parla Mixed Media Mural 4' x 6', by manty on Jun 23, 2009 6:24:07 GMT 1, Dont lurk Keyersoze, get involved :-)
There is actually very rarely any discussion about art on here, which makes it rather dull.
If people like it, then it makes a better read to say why and what they like about it, or if they dont then the same should apply in my mind.
I know very little about art, but am keen on it, Like to hang it ( some people may call it art) on my walls, and I like to learn about it. One of the ways is on here, but mainly on other forums, as well as books, galleries, etc et
For example I am not a lover of Parlas, I can take it or leave it, But reading threads like this can open my eyes to new interpretations of his work.
Sorry to trample your sales thread tadgshostel, and again good luck with the sale

I think you're just a little, make that way off base here buddy.
I offer a relatively even keel on my opinions for the most part anyway, what I wrote on this thread may be critical but none, NONE of it is ripping anyone apart and or all that insulting. And the key ingredient is that unlike you, I'm most certainly not telling anyone what to say. Personally I think this is better than the overzealous praise or the childish insults (see above) that are often found on these forums. But to each their own.
So if you don't like what I'm saying feel free to chime in but to come on here and tell me to shut up, I got one thing to say to you. #&@$ You. I don't owe you anything and I'm not going to "spare you" a thing, if you don't like my post maybe you should take some of that medication yourself to calm yourself down before moving on to the next post.

Well then maybe one more post...
I love Parla's work. I don't have a degree in art history but the man's art speaks to me on a deep level. Love the fact he is a graffiti writer (hiphop/graffiti/tagging was a big part of my childhood) who is taking the artform to a whole other level.
His 'writing' becomes a work of art in itself; his ability to create something truly wall-like from a blank canvas is mind-boggling to me; love his celebration of walls as a homage to cities and continued life/rebirth/destruction; his ability to not only create but also destroy to make art is equally interesting (the layers upon layers as an example); and based on the few videos I've seen - he seems to be a passionate painter who absolutely loves what he does and is a positive/reflective soul.
For anyone who doesn't like Parla all I would ask is that you:
1. Go see one of his exhibitions in the flesh &
2. Read Cityscapes from cover to cover.
If you come away thinking it's not your cup of tea, so be it. But for people to dismiss his talent as 'just squiggles' is honestly indicative of not immersing yourself deep enough to understand/appreciate his work.
Lastly, my apologies for the tangent tadgshostel. Your piece is one of the best I've seen available for sale. If only I was minted!

Your free to air our view like everyone else but ou've commented on people bsing insulting in the past so a little restraint might be nice.
I think a lot of it is to do with how Parla fans in general and some especially (not pointing at you Joe) spring to his defence quicker and more aggressively than anyone else on this board or any other board.
Maybe it's just a balancing act from snausages, I often felt that when I'd come onto a Parla thread it'd be all knowing backslapping, a wink and a nod, we've got a Parla therefore we're better than you... and so on. There is a great thread on WK at the moment about hype and talking up artists. I see Parla as being the most talked up artist in this sphere at the moment, especially by people who have invested a lot of money into him... he seems the one artist (well maybe Banksy too) where any even slightly negative comments are jumped upon very quickly.
I used to post on Parla threads my opinion in order to add a little balance to things which I saw as always heavily onesided, but when certain people started getting unnecessarily personal on both threads and by PM I decided it's not worth it, so keep them in the main to myself. I've never seen / known this to happen with any other artist but Parla

For Sale Parla Mixed Media Mural 4' x 6', by Eton Groover on Jun 23, 2009 11:36:37 GMT 1, Agree, it is a nice painting, but at $70,000.00 I could think of a lot more I would buy before it.
If his works were more reasonably priced I would love to own one, but there seems to be a special club saying this is worth ยฃX without any real justification other than they do not come up for sale very often, and how much brown nosing you have to do in order to get one.
Its like a posh club where entry is very expensive and every one can sit and feel pleased with themselves.

Fairly big accomplishment imo, and really at this point in any of these artists careers buildng their CV is what it's all about. But as others have said, one mans trash is anothers treasure. Time will certainly tell.

With all due respect Mike you are talking nonsense , all that about a nod and a wink , backslapping and we have a Parla so are better than you is complete bollox. I fully respect that some people think he is over priced and dont really appreciate his work. If you go back on this thread and all the rest it always starts off with either something for sale or an appreciation of his work which is then widely criticised by the same people over and over again.
I have seen no so called hype whatsover just a genuine appreciation of the guys work.
Then again come to think of it you once compared the Beatles to Take That or Boyzone so its no surprise really that you dont like his work.

My posts here have been pretty non combative imo. So it's funny that at least twice in this thread people have made personal attacks against me โ and they think that's ok? I'm the one in the wrong eh? I think this is what mike alluded to, the personal attacks...
If anything it's like Mike said, a balancing act as I see it and to maybe get people to really think about things and put some of this scene in a more broad perspective as I think that's something that is usually lacking here.
Your opinion but I strongly disagree with this and could provide excerpts from past threads or even this thread. But whatever, I'll leave it at that and leave you to your scene.
Here we go again ! Deja Vu Snausages, as I have said before this is more about your ego than anything else.

You bringing up supposed "ego" issues is an ad hominem attack against me basically to try to invalidate myself and my comments. It's sort of personal don't you think? Maybe I am taking it a bit strong but it's not a line of argument I appreciate as I find it more subversive than plain old insults. And then you claim I need to "chill," yet another veiled attack. Trying to position it as if I'm getting emotional or something ...as if you are poised and calm, yet talking about egos? I can assure you, I'm not worked up about you or anyone here and harbor no ill will at all. Plus it's hard not to take your "Thanks... really appreciate it" line as being sarcastic but again maybe I'm taking it too strong.
I was just discussing art here, it's not me who started discussing the people behind the comments.

I think the nicest one i have seen belongs to cocteau. Plain and simple if i recall correctly white writing over and over on a black background.
