His large-scale works have been installed in some of the most significant architectural and institutional contexts in the world — including the lobby of One World Trade Center in New York — and his practice has attracted the sustained attention of the most discerning collectors and institutions across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn Painting Moving in Step with the Times, Parlá brings the full material and conceptual resources of his practice to bear on a canvas of commanding scale — 122 × 175 cm — in a work whose title announces its central preoccupation with direct and resonant clarity. The phrase \"moving in step with the times\" carries a quality of both aspiration and tension — the desire to remain attuned, responsive, and alive to the present moment set against the awareness that time moves whether or not we keep pace with it. The layered surface of the work — collage and plaster giving physical depth and texture, acrylic and enamel building chromatic complexity, ink tracing the calligraphic gesture that runs as a constant thread through Parlá's entire practice — enacts this meditation on time and movement in the most immediate and material of terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✔ Careful and secure worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e➡️ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eContact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"566\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"566\"\u003eFAQ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original work by José Parlá?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — a unique original in collage, acrylic, enamel, ink and plaster on canvas, signed, titled and dated on the reverse, executed in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat medium was used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollage, acrylic, enamel, ink and plaster on canvas — a combination of materials central to Parlá's practice, producing surfaces of exceptional layered richness, physical depth, and chromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e122.0 × 175.0 cm (48 × 68 7\/8 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the work signed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — signed, titled and dated on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the work framed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Presented unframed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the condition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent condition.
