Acerca de la Obra de Arte
This large 14 panel-piece was commissioned by the Argentina based property developer, to be installed on their new fourteen story condominium building. The piece consists of fourteen 20' tall by 5' wide aluminum panels mounted on aluminum framing at three sides of the architectural structure. The collection of panels at each side, create a movement. The piece is composed of three movements, which together span a full city block. To the People of Orlando is an extension of a body of work Parker terms geometric expressionism, in which he employs geometric form as a representation of entities. He describes the forms as entities as they conceptually and figuratively include, but are not limited to, those forms relevant to the human being. Each is unique in expression, shape, color and move from panel to panel, movement to movement. The attempted result is a natural, primitive and instinctive expression. However, not only are the instinctive and reactive components a part of our life, but also are intelligent and learned thought. As is common with his work, this representation is attempted by enlisting mathematics, engineering & physical science. In this piece, dimension lines, electrical and mechanical schematics as well as scientific derivations relating to energy and force are enlisted as such representation. In great regard, the foundation of the work is related to the body of work entitled To the People of New York City, by the German born artist Blinky Palermo. Although Palermo died in 1977 when Parker was only seven years of age, and he never studied Palermo's work until a couple years prior to conceiving the Orlando piece. He discovered a strong relationship with the work of the late artist, almost as if the he had an inadvertent influence on Parker. Palermo, who studied under Joseph Beuys, was a colleague of Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter became a pioneer of aluminum paintings which expound upon what Parker calls the appreciati

John Milton Ensor Parker
"I felt the need to understand how things worked and so I chose science and the field of mechanical engineering, a study primarily dealing with the dynamic transfer of energy. Mathematics, chemistry and physics taught me basics that were independent of other people's opinions and gave me time and opportunity to develop my own. Each painting is a snapshot of some component of the universe from my perspective; moments of a journey; the state of being."
