Item Description
Ron English is an American contemporary artist who explores brand imagery and advertising. Born in Dallas, Texas, he is known for the use of color and comic book collage. Culture jamming is one aspect of English's work. Although never an official member, Ron joined forces with the Billboard Liberation Front on several occasions. The B.L.F. practices culture jamming by altering billboards by changing key words to radically alter the message, often to an anti-corporate message. Frequent targets of Ron's work include Joe Camel, McDonald's, and Mickey Mouse. Ron English can be considered the "celebrated prankster father of dollar-pop". Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, and in museums , 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. English has appropriated many well-known images and characters from pop culture, reworking them into his own signature images. Some of these include a reworking of Charlie Brown into his "Grin" character and one of his famous "MC Supersized" based on the idea that Ronald McDonald ate his own product. Another signature image of the idealized American female is his image of Marilyn Monroe with Mickey Mouse breasts
