Continuing through Saturday at Chelsea’s Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery, José Parlá’s solo exhibition, “In Medias Res,” features a range of exquisitely richly-layered, abstract works focusing on the artist’s personal interactions with particular places. Here is a small sampling:
The Ghetto (on right) and San Lazaro y Genios
Hot Gowanus
Bowery and Houston
The Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery is located at 505 West 24th Street in Chelsea. On its exterior you will find the following collab between José Parlá and JR captured last fall.

We love JR and José Parlá’s The Wrinkles of the City, Havana not only for its exquisite beauty, but also for the artists’ mission. While in Cuba last year, JR and José Parlá’ interviewed dozens of senior citizens, whose portraits made their way onto Havana’s walls. Twelve of them featuring JR’s masterful photos fused with José Parlá’s stunning calligraphy can be seen through July 12 at Bryce Wolkowitz in Chelsea. Here are a few from this must-see exhibit:
Man with Can
Elio Milanés
Rafael Lorenzo and Obdulia Manzano
Alicia Adela Hernandez Fernández
And a close-up from huge outdoor mural featuring the regal Leda Antonia Machado
Also outstanding is a short, moving documentary on view at the gallery at 505 West 24th Street in Chelsea.
