Status Factory: The Art of Ron English

Description:

STATUS FACTORY is a hardcover art book presenting new paintings from street art legend Ron English. In his paintings, English perverts and subverts the establishment, poking fun at religion, consumerism, and blind obedience to popular culture. He uses humor as a wake-up call, and renders it with meticulous brush strokes.

Ron English populates alternate versions of "The Last Supper" and "Guernica" with cartoon characters, drops camouflaged clowns on dinosaurs, and births incredible creatures from his fertile imagination. Among reinterpretations of familiar characters like Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse, you'll find three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls, grinning skulls, and many more.

In addition to over 180 images from his paintings, Status Factory includes over 100 photographs of English's street art installations, subverted billboards, and other public art. An afterword by the artist delves into his creative process, explaining how source materials are transformed into his riveting images.

Luxuriously printed on heavy art paper, this large-format coffee table book showcases Ron English's art beautifully. A great addition to any art library focused on street art, pop surrealism, graffiti, and painting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look out real world, Ron's taking over!

J.T. · July 28, 2014

Incredible and surreal are the words that I can use to describe Ron English's subversive works. The way he infiltrates the consumer world and turns it upside down with fake products and scathingly funny renditions of our favorite pop icons quite a rib tickler. From a morbidly obese Ronald McDonald to Cap'n Cornstarch, Ron English makes use of his phrase Popaganda.With nothing left untouched or sacred, Mickey Mouse suddenly becomes a martyr crucified on a credit card mousetrap, Marilyn Monroe's breasts, and a gas-masked executioner. Minnie Mouse is featured elsewhere with her head placed upon a voluptuous woman's nude body. The grin series including Charlie Brown and the Teletubbies is sure to be frightening with grin so wide it exposes skull.Among Ron's many hilarious remakes of pop influenced artwork are staple creatures such as the three eyed, two faced, three eared (sometime three breasted) Bunnny and his titular cowgirls who are anthropomorphized cows who in one instance is seen milking themselves for the obese Ronald McDonald (called McSupersized).KISS fans will definitely revel in Ron's madness as he paints KISS into everything from classic paintings to his children as band members. Even classical art is shot at, with the Da Vinci's famous Last Supper featuring the cast of South Park (satan included) and the entire cast of children's cereal characters in obese form.In all there is something for everyone in this book. And it's hard enough to believe most of what you see is actually a painting! Most times you swear it's a photograph because of Ron's ability to capture things with extreme precision. Even the section on how he creates his works might inspire those of us out there to pick a camera and a paint brush. Overall I enjoyed the madness, it was worth every penny :D.

curiosamente es un libro de puras imágenes, solo trae un ensayo de un curador joven, me hubiese gustado que trajera toda la serie de los Guernicas. bastantes pinturas y muchas muy chéveres, la imagen de portada no le hace justicia al contenido. vale la pena.
