RON ENGLISH

United States

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, including 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, utterly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning
visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop
Iconoclast.
