Break barriers

Updated On: 28 January, 2014 11:07 AM IST | The Guide Team

California-based artist and musician, professor Leroy Parker was recently spotted in Pune. A one-of-a-kind painter, he is known for his unique skill of combining the best of art with fashion. The GUIDE spoke to him about India as a source of inspiration

What inspires you to paint on clothes while listening to music?
The human form is sacred and I am in a human form. I love to see the human form in motion and painted in colours.

What do you prefer — painting or music, and why?
Painting is my first love but I love music deeply. Because anything a person attempts to do, any problem to solve; he or she must bring a positive image before them (to solve that problem). This is art. For example, Einstein had to envision the image of the equation E=MC square. I love painting and music equally because they are both vibrations.
You have said that “Wearing my painted clothing helps to break down barriers between me / us.” What do you mean?
What happens is that people are so shocked with the newness and uniqueness of the designs. They know they’re fresh so they just start gushing and opening up. It’s powerful. This is what breaks down the barriers and walls
around people.
