RON ENGLISH

RON ENGLISH has pirated over one thousand billboards over the last twenty years, replacing existing advertisements with his own hand-painted "subvertisements."
He revels in taking on the establishment, tearing down corporate icons, and unravelling social constructs.
His works on canvas contain an equally biting commentary whilst being flawlessly painted in a hyper-real style.
His paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide and his work is included in prominent collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York, and were featured in Morgan Spurlock’s film ‘SUPER SIZE ME”
The film "POPaganda: The Art and Crimes of Ron English" was released on DVD in 2007. Shot 'guerrilla style' it features ENGLISH as one of the leading figures of the international agitprop movement of artists who paint over billboards and create other art that takes aim at the emptiness of modern culture.

A major show of new paintings by Ron English and Adam Neate will be taking place May 2008. See current and forthcoming exhibitions for further information.

Elms Lesters Painting Rooms has work available by Ron English.
