Banksy vs. Parla, by mcster on May 21, 2008 18:44:09 GMT 1, I'm not so sure that Banksy's stuff won't look so good in 20 years time. I think time will look back upon Banksy as the man that brought the street to the gallery, and triggered a revolution in art that is still only in its infancy in 2008. More and more people I know are starting to take an interest in art because of Banksy and I've visited Leake St 3 times since the Cans Festival, each time seeing a diverse mix of people looking at the art. Other people I know, who 2 or 3 years ago would have gone to Ikea to buy art for their Living Rooms, are now finding Street Artists they like and are covering their walls with something decent. It's incredible. There's no doubt there are better artists than Banksy in terms of artistic merit, I believe both Parla and Neate are more talented in that sense. But Banksy is something different altogether and I think in 20 years time we'll love the images still. Sorry to waffle.

I suppose everyone has their own interpretation of what art is to them.
When I look at a Banksy or any other street art for that matter I know what the artist is saying and the message is generally clear but with varying degrees of execution.
But when I look at my Parla, the message and feeling I get are personal to me and won't necessarily be anything anyone else will get from it.
I feel a completely different attachment to it and could sit and look at it for hours.
I kind of get the feeling that Parlas work has longevity and really is unique work in a class of its own.
Sorry if that's more than you wanted to know.

Banksy vs. Parla, by slowmo on May 21, 2008 23:21:32 GMT 1, Mose Dejavu no? Seem to remember the debate on a kate moss for a parla having a similar reaction. Anyway, months on from that nothing has changed for me, if you get something from Parla thats great, but he is not the street Pollock, he is not an abstract painter and he is definitely not better in the flesh (yes I have seen many).
Banksy is the artist of the 00's, Banksy does represent a generation (or a time if you don't like being segmented), he is for stencils what Warhol was for screen printing, expect in 30 years time stencils to still be in the mainstream. I personally know of no one outside this forum who has ever heard of Parla.
However if you do not put a title of Vs you can be more objective, which do you prefer would work, parla has enough supporters that his art is worthy, it can be enjoyed. At Vs represents a fight, and in this case sorry but Parla is lying dead on the floor already, Banksy single handedly has changed british culture, whether he intended to or not is another matter.

I really like his stuff too, but What's the deal, why's he getting such a great response. Is it just because he's from the uk???
Can you hit me with a link to his website or elaborate on why his work is soo prolific or revolutionary???
Loving both their work from what I've seen of Parla. Seen lots of Banksy.
BUT
Does Parla also work in the streets? ??
Because the only parla works I've seen are (3 or 4 of em') done for recent show's on Canvases. But Does He Work On The Streeets as Well???
Great Stuff. Like that he's in NY too.
Their Styles Are Soooo Different. Don't know how you could possibly compare the two. One is essentially abstract expressionism that's somewhat representational(text), while Banksy is a bit more of a Commercial/Street artists that has a more range from what I've seen.

Parla is from Miami, not the UK. I think people covet his work so much because it has so much depth, and you can find new things in it each time you look at it. Like Neate you've got to see them for yourself though rather than checking out a jpg...

Jose Parla was a graffiti artist in Miami known as Ease when he was in his teens.
As a fine artist, rather than bring his street style into the gallery, which is the typical approach, he uses his art to reflect on street art/graffiti and its ancient histories throughout various cultures. By using calligraphy influenced by those cultures, he ties them together in historical perspective.
He also does wall studies that appear to be abstractions but are in fact realistic depictions of the exterior walls of urban buildings.
Agreed, comparing Parla and Banksy is like comparing apples and oranges, but it's interesting to see people's responses.

It could say one of a couple of things.
A) The people who bought them really love them and want to keep them
B) The people who bought them don't think they'll make a profit on them at auction

All it means is that he is better protected by his reps who chose their buyer's carefully. When I bought one it was made abundantly clear to me that selling it on the secondary market or putting it in uaction would not be cool.

To me that is an important factor to weigh when purchasing artwork of such a high value. No?
