About the Item
Parris Jaru's A Link To the World is a 36 x 24-inch expressionist oil paint representing a nude female figure. The primary colors are bright yellow, blue, and brown. The canvas has a thick impasto of paint made with plant-based pigments that Jaru collects during his long exploratory trips through India. The figure is intentionally drawn with a simplification of traits like the faux-naif art, permeating the image of emotional immediacy and a totemic presence.
Parris Jaru writes, "A Link to the World is an ode to the mother. Wether being the one who created the earth or the one who maintains life and creation within the fragments of time."
NY-born Parris Jaru comes from a Jamaican, Blackfoot Nation, and Arawak Nation background from both his parents. His work is informed by the vivid colors and imagery experienced in his childhood years spent in the coastal town of St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. His exploratory journeys in India enriched his work with a sensibility to natural plant-based pigments that he grinds with oils for his paintings.
In his Brooklyn studio, Jaru brings all these cultural inspirations together. His entire body of work is informed by an intentional childlike, faux-naïve style, constantly shifting between figurative and abstraction. Even though at times, Jaru has been working on somber and entirely figure-free paintings, most of his work is defined by poignantly colored and playful surrealistic figures. Jaru often draws his figures with a continuous line emerging from a thick impasto of paint made with powders of Sea Algae, Hibiscus, Gymnema Sylvestre, and Turmeric.
