Status Factory is a new pop-up show from infamous ‘popagandist’ Ron English coming soon to NYC. This show will have over 100 new works on display, from sculpture to installation to street art - all shown for the very first time in context beside a new body of monumental masterworks.

Ron English's Status Factory is a surreal assemblage of the artist's most well-known character motifs alive in their natural habitat, a camo-arcadian warholian times square circus sideshow mash-up barely contained by the silver walls of 382 West Broadway.

This pop up installation of Post Modern Popaganda will feature over 100 new works by the artist, including The Circus of Subvertisement, The Memorial to Toy Soldiers, Camo Clowns, Camo Deer and an Authentic Unicorn.

English draws the curtain back to reveal the process and inspiration behind his most outrageous work, with sculpture, installation and street art shown for the first time in context beside a new body of monumental masterworks. This highly interactive exhibition traces the arc of English's most ambitious themes across mediums like a cartoon colored tightrope: dangerous and fun.

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, television, and album covers. 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 explosive fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents. Ron English’s art, whether in paintings, billboards, murals, or sculpture, blends stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast.
