NEW YORK — September is a big month for José Parlá. The Brooklyn-based, Miami-born artist is working to complete an expansive mural that will hang in One World Trade Center. He is also staging his second solo exhibition at Chelsea’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery. “In Medias Res,” which opens September 12, will feature new paintings, sculpture and another large-scale mural installation. Parlá says the exhibition—its title drawing from a film and writing technique—chronicles his life, beginning with his childhood and including his travels around the world.
Blouin ARTINFO visited Parlá’s studio as he was working on the exhibition and the WTC mural.
“In Medias Res” is on view at Bryce Wolkowitz through October 18.
