Thankfully, as has been well documented, the building was saved, due in large part to the heroism and quick thinking of several Parisian officials. Of course, in the days immediately following the flames that threatened to consume the church, there was a river of funds sent to rebuild the church. And with it, a massive international competition…

Both in his life and his work, José Parlá is the very embodiment of a palimpsest. Amiable and kind on the surface, but scratch a little deeper and there’s a lifetime of experiences bubbling, memories of obstacles overcome to achieve artistic success. Much like his life, Parlá’s work is layered and verging on the third dimension. When observed from a distance, there are numerous applied coats that, one gets the strong sense, if pulled back will unlock some mystical energy and transpose the viewer…
