A trio of women luxuriate in a silkscreen print by Parra.

FOUR WALLS captures the hazy aftermath of a party in a contemplative and timeless scene. The guests sprawl over the floor, engaged in conversation that wanders between everything and nothing. Parra captures the feeling of being caught in a late-night moment, where time and place becomes blurred.

A strong dialogue between printmaker and artist allowed an original twist on the reference work to develop. The figures have a delicate gloss achieved by layering solid, seamless colour – overlapping in places to echo Parra’s painting techniques.

Parra5 collaborationsParra’s paintings capture moments of spontaneity, awkwardness and melancholy. The female form serves as the main protagonist in many of his works, along with themes of intimacy and domesticity. His works always start with the composition, like a jigsaw puzzle. Parra sketches fast in pen and paper, then onto an iPad, before painting onto canvas. The palette is strictly flat pinks, reds, blues and blacks. With their contrasting colours, his bright graphic works recall Neo-Pop artists like Gary Hume and Katharina Fritsch.
