Stephen Parlato describes his work as “visual puns” with a “double identity of forms”. Images constructed of bits and pieces of the familar are meticulously rearranged into strange, exotic and marvelous new creatures. The critics have said of his PBS recomended picture book The World That Loved Books, “Every now and then there comes along a book so original, so interesting that every child—and every adult lucky enough to have remained childlike—should read it.” Mr. Parlato, originally from Levittown, Long Island, New York, resides
and works in his studio in Baltimore, Maryland. A graduate of both The
Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture and The
Maryland Institute’s Hoffberger School of Graduate Painting he
is considered one of the foremost collage artists working today. --- |
