“Parker’s distinctly fantastical portraits and landscapes that consist of a natural yet chaotic combination of vivid colors and diverse motifs is indeed underpinned by Saul’s teachings, with its emphasis on remaining faithful to a sense of creativity that is born through looking into oneself sharply and profoundly without being bound by conventional rules,” the gallery says of Erik Parker’s work.
