“As a young kid I was in love with breakdancing. I practiced the uprock style, which is a battle style of dance that looks like fighting. It comes from the gangs in New York in the 1960s and '70s. It's beautiful, almost like a martial art, and it can be funny, too, because you make fun of each other.” LooksArtKidsBeautifulYoungFightingFunStyleNew YorkBattleMartial ArtsGang1960sBreakdancing Author:Jose Parla
“People have thought that some of my writing and lines are done by a machine. I'm able to move in a way that's part gestural dance performance, and it's fun for me, so I incorporate that into the painting.” PeopleWayWritingDoneAbleMovingFunLinesPaintingMachinesPerformancesDance Performance Author:Jose Parla
