The academically-minded contemporary art community in Miami agrees that Romero Britto equals blasphemy. His obnoxiously loud, empty designs ripping off every cultural staple from Mickey Mouse to Jesus Christ have landed on hundreds of tourists’ hard-case luggage and have gone as far as earning a shelf in the gift shop of the Louvre.

Vacillating between vagrant, guerrilla artist, scruffy flâneur, and academic observer, Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Kenton Parker inhabits multiple identities with a single purpose: to reveal his native surroundings’ inherent ugliness and veneer of superficial beauty. Parker’s prolific body of work as an artist and curator includes graphic design stenciled on city walls, shiny tongue-in-cheek trophies depicting police brutality and civilian violence, and films referencing drug use and car chases while mocking late 1950s informational programs. Parker discusses his practice and his latest show It Takes All This to Be Me at Primary Projects, Miami.
