Well, this one is an ode to all of us who are working to survive COVID in the US with a sense of humor. And believe me, during this time in  America you need a sense of humor to stem the anger and get through the absurdity, ineptness and obvious corruption that is going on here. It seriously feels like the fall of Rome which is where the inspiration for this title comes from. The figure itself is glorious in attitude and reflects the exaggerated, unkempt look of a survivor (who has not been able to get a haircut for months now as most of us here are dealing with). The black background is treated with a glittered varnish (see photos) creating a stunning, starry effect that offers the subject a well earned sense of place and being in the universe. 
This work is not only about personal strength and the will to survive, but also about defeating those who mean to do us all harm in the name of greed and arrogance.

Statement: CHANGE IS HEALTHY, GROWTH IS NECCESSARY, EXPLORATION IS LIFE: PORTRAITS AND PLANTS: My work offers less about the detailed physicality of nature and instead captures the purest emotions bestowed upon the human condition by exposure to nature. The idea of life is given by stroke, passion by line, belief via color, and all displayed as offerings to our truest self. Bio: To Michigan artist Jon Parlangeli there is no other path but to constantly ask and then answer questions via different modalities within his medium. This leads to new explorative bodies of work offering differing styles, genres, or techniques that satiate his curiosity for the space between real and the abstract. Parlangeli uses both nature and figure as his muse often jostling between them to solve internal conundrums exposed during studio sessions. Standing over such processes is his artistic signature, color. Born partially color blind, Parlangeli uses color as his weapon of indelicacy often pushing beyond subtle yet achieving a cosmopolitan of sublime. Parlangeli is a seasoned painter who has placed works within corporate and private collections throughout the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. His works have been shown in the US and internationally.
