Ron English, one of the most recognizable figures in contemporary pop art, reveals his exhibition at the Opera Gallery in New York. Titled Status Factory, the collection displays work of a political, surreal and satirical context. English himself would describe his show as presenting themes of circus, pop culture and Andy Warhol, that is “…filtered through my brain and reprocessed out…” Ron English is an extremely skilled artist with some very addictive ideas, the collection of work is both colorful and eye-popping, utilizing his messages through the symbolism of our current pop culture idols — including plenty of his trusted regulars like Frankenstein, Barney and Charlie Brown. The show opened this past Saturday and will run through until October 29th.
