| Ron English self portrait: Mutant Ron in Stavanger |
In 2012 Ron English visited Stavanger, Norway, for the NuArt Festival. I guess that 50 years from now, Ron English will be reckoned as one of the most influential artists at the start of the 3rd. millennium. As an artist, Ron English leans heavily upon the popart movement from the 1960's, but are taking popart from the fine art galleries out to the masses, to the streets as street art and billboard take overs. Fans all over the world can buy his books filled with stickers. He plays with, twist, constructs and deconstructs the icons of our time. Just like Warhol did with Icons of his time, but English are more surreal and subversive as he fucks with corporate america, their brands and commercial strategies.
His images are laden with strong sociopolitical
undertones and humor.
