A Miami
native whose parents fled Cuba for Florida, Parla has enjoyed a rapid rise
thanks to his adept update on Neo-Expressionist aesthetics. His compositions
recall ancient graffiti-incised walls that have been repeatedly painted and
plastered over, name-checking not only the likes of Jackson Pollock but also
1950s Affichistes like Mimmo Rotella, whose work appropriated the accidental
beauty of peeling advertising posters. This two-space show comes hard on the
heels of major public commissions for One World Trade Center and the Standard
Hotel.
