The Taos Inn, December 5th - April 3rd
“These new compositions are a successful departure from Parker’s previous work, and consort oddly with the more recognizable crisp and linear pragmatism of his distinctly modernist abstractions,” says Jina Brenneman, curator at the Harwood Museum of Art. "The 'Parallel Realities series',” she says, is presented “as blurs of color, the shapes quirky and mysterious; these works - the ‘idea’ of an interior or a landscape - are barely restrained from being an almost perversely visceral and voyeuristic viewing experience."
Brenneman continues, "The additional drawings in the Taos Inn Library can be seen as a testament to the artist's predilection for clarity and calm as each cozy sketch, marked with great delicacy, exhibits a deep recognition of beauty and a studious attempt to gain understanding of the natural landscape."
