Jose Parla Video Interview
Abstract graffiti expressionist José Parlá gives us a look into his Brooklyn habitat; studio, streets and neighbourhood. The artist also known as Ease discusses his skills, by taking his admiration for manmade deterioration in the city and replicating its beauty in his peices. The prolific New York based artist looks set to have a big year, having just auctioned work on Sothebys for over fifty thousand dollars.
