Parker People 365: A Year in the Life of Parker People Hardcover – August 2, 2024

As a psychologist, Dr. Ronald Parker is a keen observer of people."Parker People 365," Parker’s latest book, showcases a series of mixed-media works on diary pages which has joined the text-based art movement exploring people’s private thoughts, dreams, fantasies and fears, with each double page being a work of art in its own right.These PARKER PEOPLE were created over a period of 30+ years, with each provocative work of art telling important stories about life and its meaning. From over 4,000 PARKER PEOPLE drawings Dr. Parker created, 365 were artfully curated by his wife, Yvonne, to represent each day of the year (no astrological implications) to form this book of daily inspiring, contemplative and witty observations.PARKER PEOPLE have been expressed by critics to be "ribald, risqué, politically incorrect, iconoclastic and irreverent."Others have stated that “One is immediately mesmerized by PARKER PEOPLE, their expressive features, quirky personalities and unusual forms.”The addition of text to this raw, visionary art makes each piece more meaningful and provokes the viewer to self-reflection or to having a good laugh. Many of these paintings laced with text are auto-biographical reflections of Parker’s life that has been off-center, but on target as an academician, psychologist, international entrepreneur and artist.If, after reading and reflecting on PARKER PEOPLE 365, you like these sardonic, satirical, humorous, mordantly funny, literate and inspiring text-based, mixed-media works, please become a PARKER PEOPLE to help change the world into a safer and happier place for all.
