RON ENGLISH


RON ENGLISH
Born in Dallas, Texas in 1966
"Pop iconoclast Ron English paints, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture and its mainstream visual iconography on canvas, in song, and directly onto hundreds of pirated billboards. English exists spiritually somewhere between a cartoon Abbie Hoffman and a grown-up, real-life Bart Simpson, delivering a steady stream of customized imagery laden with strong sociopolitical undertones, adolescent boy humor, subversive media savvy, and Dali-meets-Disney technique. Dedicated to finding the sublime in the everyday and breaking the momentum of the didactic approach to art and life, English offers up an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted, and there is always room for a little good-natured fun."(OPERA GALLERY)

Les tableaux célèbres revus et corrigés sont très amusants. Je voulais faire un truc comme ça dans une vitrine d'opticien, changer les accessoires d'un tableau. Mais, en fin de carrière, je ne le réaliserais probablement jamais, les clients opticiens se faisant rare. récupérés par des *chaînes *, et recevant du matérie de vitrine standard. Dommage !
