Story / Additional InfoEnglish employed an "X-Ray" aesthetic, deconstructing Guernica's characters to expose their inner anatomy, evoking themes of vulnerability and mortality. The work retains the chaotic and fragmented composition of Picasso’s masterpiece while layering in a visceral, almost medical lens. Symbolism: It deepens Guernica's commentary on the horrors of war by exposing the literal fragility of the human form. The skeletal and anatomical reinterpretation mirrors the trauma inflicted on both physical bodies and collective human psyche. 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.

Ron English - United States
Art Brokerage: Ron English American Artist: b. 1959. Ron English is an American contemporary artist born in 1959. 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, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie Supersize Me, and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America's 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English's art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and grinning skulls, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America's Premier Pop Iconoclast.
