Ron English, a New York-based painter, billboard liberator, and toy designer, has exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide for over twenty years his unique sensibility, in which the familiar is reflected through funhouse mirrors into something startlingly new. Widely considered a catalytic figure in the advancement of street art, English has hijacked public space around the globe, creating illegal murals and billboards that blend stunning visuals with biting political, consumerist and surrealist statements. English was featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” and has made numerous television appearances worldwide. He is the subject of the 2006 award-winning documentary, “POPaganda, the Art and Crimes of Ron English” and the 2009 documentary “Abraham Obama.” He has produced five books, “Popaganda,” “Son of Pop,” “Abject Expressionism,” “Lazarus Rising,” and “Art Is a Horrible Waste of the Imagination,” and continues to create art that utilizes the American symbology of his boyhood to propel unstated cultural norms just beyond the bounds of comfort into a disconcerting realm simultaneously hilarious and terrifying.
