Jose Parla 'Scarf' ~ For The Standard
This is a 24.5 x 70 inch 50% silk / 50% cashmere scarf having hand-rolled edges with an edition size of 100 for $225 each.
"The Standard has once again commissioned some of their friends to come up with some graphics and illustrations for this Spring's release. The plan is to keep you cozy as well as looking good, so we figured why not wrap you in the most beautiful, lightweight, cashmere/silk scarf we could find and have artists Thomas Campbell, Jose Parla, and Rostarr create unique art to cover it in it’s entirety. The crew we curated this time are all known for their graphic language and sometimes ‘pattern-like’ feel that is often associated with their artwork. Basically, the art that was produced by all three artists may look like repeated graphics from afar, but are really more like murals that can not only be worn on the body but can also be hung on your wall. His paintings are concerned with the visible effects of time and human activity in and around cities. Each marking or writing is simply one moment in a series of discrete, individual performances. His calligraphic language occupies a different category than painterly markings, because it is not simply gesture but a symbolic carrier of meaning."
