José Parlá - The American Mindscape, Textured - 2024
A print by José Parlá thrums with his expansive vision of America.
The American Mindscape will appear in an upcoming exhibition at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami. To mark José's return to the city where he was born, we’ve transformed the cacophonous painting into a limited edition print.
The painting itself began in 2021, when José was recovering from a four month coma and protests were erupting in Cuba. Layer upon layer of abstract marks and script embody entangled feelings of hope and anger, and represent the millions who since 1959 have joined Cuba’s diaspora. Extrapolating, José also reflects on the entire American continent, and the countless stories that connect its inhabitants in pursuit of freedom – asking what it really means to be American.
