Eric Parnes
b. 1979
Eric Parnes is a Persian-American artist, focusing on the compelling and substantive discourse resulting from the impact of commercialism and successive interaction between the Middle East (Orient) and the Western world (West). Parnes is well-known for blending historic and popular culture motives within the context of “Orientalism,” leading him to trademark the words Neo-Orientalism and NeOrientalist and serving as the basis for his narrative by incorporation of ancient, contemporaneous, and mystical characteristics.
