A much-loved signature painting by Dutch artist Parra becomes a new limited edition print.

Originally created for the artist's 2013 solo exhibition of the same name in Milan, il senso di colpa is an early example of Parra's distinctive visual language. His surreal, Neo-Pop figures balance bold flat colour with moments of intimacy, awkwardness and quiet melancholy.

This limited edition silkscreen print of 150 was crafted in close collaboration with the artist at our London print house, Make-Ready. Created with 4-colours and 9 layers, each piece captures the crisp graphic quality of Parra's original composition.

Parra5 collaborationsParra’s paintings capture moments of spontaneity, awkwardness and melancholy. The female form serves as the main protagonist in many of his works, along with themes of intimacy and domesticity. His works always start with the composition, like a jigsaw puzzle. Parra sketches fast in pen and paper, then onto an iPad, before painting onto canvas. The palette is strictly flat pinks, reds, blues and blacks. With their contrasting colours, his bright graphic works recall Neo-Pop artists like Gary Hume and Katharina Fritsch.
