Yeooooooo
WHO IS RON ENGLISH ?
And has he really done all the the things people say he has?
One thing for sure is Ron English is certainly one of the most
controversial artists to emerge in the 1990's. English is
nothing if not a big picture, high concept iconoclast.
He plays for high stakes and has often been overheard
saying "I DAMN SURE DIDN"T MAKE THE RULES,
I DAMN SURE WON'T LIVE BY THEM"
English considers himself a folk artist. To understand
what he means by this one need look no further than his
pirated billboards. Since the early '80's he has spent
countless hours turning out his Illegal Billboards for the
cost free enjoyment of a delighted public, he has even
racked up one second degree felony for some officially unappreciated billboards in Texas.
Beyond his billboard activities,
Ron is known as a BRILLIANT PAINTER.
He is the father of AGIT-POP, a hybrid of Pop Art that is
fueled by a more personal, hands-on socially responsible
attitude. His work is loaded with the iconography of his generation, exploring the range and power of a deeply
American symbology using pop imagery as a metaphor.
Ron has also reinvented Modernism in his own image and attitude in a series called REVISIONIST MODERNISM.
Ron has an incredible knack for making things his own, and in no place is this more evident than in this series.
By " putting some English on it" , Ron not only reinterprets the original , he breathes new life and a new vitality
into the work that holds it's own against the tide of postmodern critique.
