His rebellious and youthful paintings are jam-packed with reference material in compositions that exploit todays familiar feeling of overstimulation. Parkers practice has always touched on politics and the 24-hour news cycle of contemporary media, and his upcoming exhibition at Over the Influence, Hong Kong is no different.

Her practice involves research on the origins of commercial fabrics from Dutch wax cloth and indigo to the original dyes use
