One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books and television.
English coined the term
POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural
touchstones - from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with
his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters.
This includes MC
Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie “Supersize
Me,” and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents, an
image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election.
Other characters carousing through English’s art, in paintings, billboards, and
sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning
skulls.
Blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of
America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast, this current pop-up does not disappoint.
Inside visitors are treated to lots of fun stuff - tee shirts, toys, kooky art as well as events and signings.
