when the smoke clears pays homage to a pair of motifs all but synonymous with Parra’s influential practice – a muted blue-red-black palette, and a nonchalant female figure.

Calling to mind a cinematic poolside holiday, Parra dwells on a moment of stillness which, his choice of title suggests, follows one of chaos. Available to all for 48 hours, the edition is of a new unseen artwork, transposed into an elegant 8-colour silkscreen. Graphic black outlines align the print closely with the artist’s coveted designs for apparel.

“There is sadness and hope within the print, which is up for the viewer to interpret.”

Medium

Behind the scenes

Piet Parra paints with his back to the camera wearing a blue cap

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.
