Thanks for heads up. Just ordered one. Not cheap, but probably well worth it, especially when considering the limited print run. You won't be disappointed with the book, it's lavishly produced & with an abundance of great photos. |

That is badass! I used to be into ceramics in high school, and even some slight carry over into college, and have experienced these life sized wood fired kilns. They produce the most amazingly unpredictable color profiles due to the chemicals in the smoke and the oxidation affecting the glazes put on the clay. These look great! I wonder what they cost?

 An interesting piece on ebay right now. Kinda jacked up that they are selling it as it sounds like it was drawn for free. Tempting even at 1000 starting bid as it's a very nice drawing... But probably not worth that much. |

Saw this interesting piece coming up for auction at Sotheby's on another forum.  Pretty low estimate at 8,000—12,000 USD |

This is definitely interesting. The work has come a long way in 7 years. There does not look to be the texture layers or much paint on this piece at all. Very raw. Looks like it is simply some calligraphy on found wood. I personally would like to see some more color and a bit more calligraphy, but I sure would not complain to have bought this back in 02 either. Anxious to see what this goes for., I guess it is a steal if you compare it to his current prices. This is even projected to be cheaper than the watercolors that are out there. It would of been amazing to get on board with Jose's work back in the early years when it was much more affordable.

Over 4 times the high estimate... not bad for a really early piece. Was that the hammer price or inclusive of sellers fees?

 Looks like all that calligraphy had some meaning after all. I thought it could be just random strokes. Then again, some one got their book signed by him in their name with that calligraphy so now I wonder what he has been writing in all his paintings. |

His paintings (writing) is his personal diary of travels and experiences. It ALL says something whether its graf shorthand, beautifully legible or scribbles. Little bit of an explanation...

never saw these before. They say 2008, so they may have been in the Elms Lesters Show, but I thought it sold out.  "When Alef meets Castor" 36x36 2009  "Practi Reductio Ad Absurdum" 24x24 2009 |

^ Seth the above are from Elms Lester. I don't remember those being in his last show. I think they were some additional pieces added in after the show. (I'm sure Rico can confirm)
Rizza, I believe they did sell out the show, but these are just a few extras that Parla created that didn't make it in time for the show. Both those look sick.

These are new pieces that were just finished 4 weeks ago, while Jose was over at the Elms Studio. They were available, but I know there has already been some interest.

New Parla show in May. Can't wait to see his new work. That red canvas looks amazing. Is it still available somewhere? What's the price tag on that bad boy?

Walrus TV just released an older video from Parla that was pretty interesting. Parlá talks about the influences of his brother, his nickname “Ease,” and his technique of emulating deteriorating wall surfaces in his paintings. He even throws in a little breakdancing…
