José Parlá

Somewhere between abstraction and calligraphy, you’ll find the work of José Parlá, the internationally renowned artist whose large-scale murals adorn New York’s One Trade Center. Resembling ancient walls scrawled with words and paint, his multi-layered pieces feature meditative calligraphy, evoking his fascination with memories, history and the human need to make a mark. Parlá has been compared with the 1950s abstract artist Cy Twombly and his work can be found in collections including the British Museum and Hong Kong’s Burger Collection.
