This title explores the belief that all art is the futile attempt
to cheat death and death is the thing that gives all art meaning. A
collection of Ron English's work, who has been a seminal figure in
the culture jamming and street art movements of the last 25 years.
FAUXLOSOPHY by Ron English, is a compelling collection of the
artist's sayings with his accompanying iconic images. It is a light
read with indelible images bringing to life wit and wisdom to live
by through art, humor and ironic inspiration. Ron English is one of
the most prolific and recognisable American artists alive today.
Considered the Godfather of Street Art, he has appeared in movies
such as Exit through the Gift Shop and Supersize Me and as a
character of himself in the Simpsons. 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 and television. English coined the term POPaganda to
describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural
touchstones.
In his paintings, Ron English perverts and subverts the
establishment, poking fun at religion, consumerism, and blind
obedience to popular culture. He uses humour as a wake-up call, and
renders it with meticulous brush strokes. In addition to over 180
images from his paintings, 'Status Factory' includes over 100
photographs of English's street art installations.
