McDonalds Cowgirl

Let me introduce to you the brilliant and typically paintalicious (New york based) Agit-Pop artist, Ron England. Ron’s inspiration comes from a variety of sources, though mainly through an interesting mix of Pop art, Cartoons, billboards to Pop culture itself. Equally interesting is his style of painting, this could be said to be fun, bright, surreal, raucous, playful, colorful (Plutonium Yellow seems to be a favorite), odd, humorous and absolutely full of iconography and bizzare pop imagery used as a metaphor.

Ron English is perhaps one of the most controversial artists to emerge in the 1990’s, for his paintings of popular brand imagery and advertising. English is also known for his seminal work in billboard subvertising, becoming one of the “key figures” in the Culture Jamming movement. This made him an artist notorious for replacing corporate billboards and advertisements with satirical and subversive attacks on popular consumer culture. His most recent work appeared in the recent film Supersize Me, a film that reveals the truth about the fast food industry.
