Grin Guard Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Ron English. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 150 Archival Pigment Print in Colors on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 24x20 "Grin Guard" stands out as a compelling exemplar of Ron English's artistic vision, where he seamlessly integrates elements of satire, pop culture, and street art. Known for his critical and humorous take on contemporary society, English's creation is a limited edition series comprising 150 signed and numbered prints, each rendered with archival pigment on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper. 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.

Stormtrooper Messiah Limited Edition Archival Pigment Fine Art Prints on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper by Graffiti Street Art and Pop Culture Artist Ron English. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Archival Pigment Print in Colors on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper Artwork Size 17x22 The "Stormtrooper Messiah" is a limited edition work of art by the critically acclaimed artist Ron English, known for his provocative blend of street art and pop culture iconography. This particular piece is one of a series of 100 archival pigment prints, each signed and numbered to assure its collectability and authenticity. 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.

The work is sized at 16x13 inches and is printed using archival pigment on Moab Entrada Fine Art Paper, a premium choice that enhances the depth and vibrancy of the artwork's colors. This print serves as a visual dialogue between past and present, invoking the power and mystery of both entities it represents. Vader, an emblem of the dark side in the "Star Wars" universe, is superimposed onto the body of a Sphinx, traditionally seen as a guardian of sacred spaces and knowledge. English's work invites contemplation on the fusion of these powerful symbols, suggesting parallels between the cultural significance of ancient deities and contemporary fictional characters. Through this lens, the print can be seen as a statement on how modern narratives have become a form of mythology and how characters such as Darth Vader have assumed a mythic status in popular culture. The use of bold and expressive colors in the print underscores the themes of power and enigma that are central to the piece. English's proficiency in drawing from graffiti and street art techniques is evident in the way the artwork commands attention and provokes thought.

Temper Tot Tramples Guernica Silkscreen by Ron English Hand-Pulled 4-Color Screen on 320gsm Coventry Rag Paper Mural Pop Street Art Artwork. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 199 Artwork Size 43x25 "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" is an evocative piece by Ron English, a seminal figure in Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. English, known for his masterful blending of high and low cultural touchstones, presents a 2021 silkscreen juxtaposing his iconic Temper Tot character against the backdrop of Picasso's historic mural "Guernica." This work is part of a limited edition series, meticulously hand-pulled on 320gsm Coventry Rag Paper, known for its exceptional quality and durability. The artwork is substantial, with an image measuring 19 by 38 inches and paper size extending to 25 by 43 inches, allowing the visual drama and detail to unfold powerfully before the viewer. English's work is part of a limited run of 199 pieces, along with artist proofs and foundation proofs, each signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. This specificity in documentation provides collectors with a guarantee of the artwork's authenticity and exclusivity. Ron English's artwork is recognized for critically engaging with cultural narratives and iconic figures. In "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica," English superimposes his superhero-like toddler over Picasso's black-and-white portrayal of the tragedies of war, thereby infusing the somber historical narrative with a contemporary and ironic twist. The Temper Tot, with his exaggerated musculature and childlike impulsivity, becomes a symbol of unchecked power and emotional rawness, a stark contrast to the solemnity of Picasso's anti-war masterpiece. The choice of the Temper Tot, one of English's most famous characters, known for embodying the artist's critique of American consumerism and corporatization, presents a compelling dialogue between past and present political discourse. This dialogue is further emphasized by the vibrancy of the silkscreen technique, a hallmark of English's practice, which brings the historical into the immediate and visceral realm of street art. "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" was printed by the renowned Gary Lichtenstein Editions and distributed by WCC Editions, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship in producing this print. The paper's hand-deckled edges contribute to the unique character of each piece, as they echo the textured, often imperfect surfaces of urban environments where street art naturally resides. The mural from which this print originated was created in 2015 under the auspices of the Lisa Project NYC, further cementing English's role in the urban landscape of public art. By moving from the transient medium of murals to the permanence of limited edition prints, English allows for a wider dissemination of his ideas, enabling a broader audience to engage with his provocative juxtapositions and vibrant imagery. Ron English's "Temper Tot Tramples Guernica" serves as a poignant reminder of the power of Street Pop Art to comment on society, offering a bridge between historical consciousness and contemporary critique. It stands as a testament to the potential of street art to infuse spaces, whether public or private, with layered meanings and vibrant visual impact.
