Parra: Surreal Characters In Post-Pop Form

Creating surreal characters in post-pop form is what Parra does. The Dutch artist (born Pieter Janssen) has become one of the European underground art scene’s most loved artists by way of playful and imaginative works. Across an array of mediums from modest prints to extravagant sculptures, the pieces often fall into the realm of bewilderment for children and intrigue for adults. The illustrator and graphic designer applies his creations to clothing with cotton basics seeing the primary colour prints placed across them. With years of experience in the world of visual art, the creative talent is evident in each piece, a result of making the visual decals the forefront. Parra rejects the common process of quick doodles to accompany the garment; this time, the garment accompanies the art work.
