Storm Troopers are a popular subject in street pop art, especially in the graffiti art scene. Graffiti artists often incorporate Storm Troopers into their works to add a sense of sci-fi or futuristic vibe to their pieces. The iconic white armor and helmet of the Storm Trooper make for a visually striking and recognizable image, making it a popular choice among street artists. Some artists may choose to depict Storm Troopers in a more traditional or realistic way, while others may incorporate more abstract or stylized elements into their works. Additionally, some graffiti artists may use Storm Troopers as a metaphor for authority or conformity, playing off of the Empire's role in the Star Wars franchise. Storm Troopers offer a lot of creative possibilities for graffiti and street pop artists, and their popularity in the genre shows no signs of slowing down.

Ron English Grin Guard Archival Print by Ron English

This paper is renowned for its ability to present a broad spectrum of vibrant colors and preserve the fine details of the artwork, making it an ideal medium for English's detailed style. Sized at 24x20 inches, each piece in this series is a work of art and a collector's item. This print features a phalanx of stormtroopers from the iconic "Star Wars" franchise, each donning a different expression of Ron English's signature grin—a recurrent motif in his work that often symbolizes the subversive undercurrents of pop culture. Against a backdrop that evokes a surrealist landscape beneath an ominous UFO, the scene is familiar and jarringly otherworldly. This juxtaposition is emblematic of English's approach, which often places recognizable characters in unexpected contexts to critique and comment on media, consumerism, and the corporatization of American culture. Through "Grin Guard," English explores the concept of the 'trooper' not just as a faceless enforcer but as a being with an individual, if concealed, identity. The grinning skulls emblazoned on their helmets suggest a macabre sense of mortality and individuality within the conformity of their ranks. This piece is a powerful commentary on identity and anonymity, particularly within mass media and entertainment, where characters often become mere extensions of their fictional universes rather than being perceived as reflections of human nature. Ron English's work continues to challenge viewers, using the accessible mediums of street and pop art to provoke thought and discussion. "Grin Guard" is no exception, offering not only an aesthetic that resonates with fans of these genres but also conveying a more profound message about the complex interplay between individuality and cultural iconography. Through such works, English affirms his status as an innovative artist who can blur the lines between fine art and the rebellious spirit of street art.

The artwork measures 17x22 inches and is rendered on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, a choice that denotes high quality and ensures the longevity and vibrancy of the colors used in the print. This piece by English is a powerful commentary on the intersections of ideology, iconography, and the indoctrination mechanisms within our society. It reimagines a standard stormtrooper - a symbol of the faceless enforcer from the "Star Wars" franchise - in the garb of a religious icon, precisely resembling the Messiah. This fusion of imagery from distant corners of culture spotlights the often unexamined devotion we have to certain facets of pop culture, paralleling religious fervor. English’s choice of a stormtrooper, an emblem of collective identity and unyielding authority, enveloped in the trappings of a spiritual figure, questions the role of such figures and the institutions behind them in shaping beliefs and behaviors. The artist employs luminous and contrasting colors to breathe a sense of reverence into the figure, an approach that reflects the aura often associated with religious artworks. The flowing robes in vivid hues give the subject a sense of motion and ethereal presence, intensifying the impact of the visual juxtaposition. The "Stormtrooper Messiah" is more than a piece of fine art; it's a visual discourse that challenges the viewers to reflect on the narratives and symbols that influence their understanding of power, culture, and spirituality. Ron English, through his distinctive merger of street art's grit and pop art's fascination with the mainstream, has created an arresting image that continues to spark conversations in the art community and beyond.

Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill
