Negra Urbana

About Julio César Parra

Parra’s vibrant and rebellious scribbles and brushstrokes splashed against a light often stark white backdrop reflects his more positive and less racially charged view on the world that Basquit portrayed in his all consuming sombre dark canvases. Parra’s works’ raw innocence and tone of authenticity akin to the primitivism of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso or, perhaps, even that of the infant mind. Be that as it may, there is nothing juvenile about the communicative power and coded messages of his work.
