Chase Glitter Gold MC Supersized Grin Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy McSupersized Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Ron English.
2020 Signed New In Box Limited Edition. Chase Glitter Gold Variant Colorway. Ron English, 8 Inches Tall, Signed By Ron English, SFBI.
The Chase Glitter Gold MC Supersized Grin represents a fusion of street pop art and graffiti artwork, a genre in which Ron English has been a defining figure. This limited edition vinyl art toy captures the essence of English's provocative and whimsical style. Released in 2020, each figure stands at 8 inches tall and is signed by the artist, making it a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This particular variant, the Chase Glitter Gold, adds a layer of luxury and exclusivity with its sparkling colorway, setting it apart from the standard editions. The glittering gold finish not only enhances the aesthetic value but also suggests commentary on the commercialization of art and culture—a recurring theme in English's work. The choice of gold, often associated with wealth and success, can be seen as a satirical nod to the artist's critique of consumerist values. Part of the SFBI (SuperFictionalBrandItems) line, this collectible is a tangible representation of English's influence on the art toy movement, which blurs the lines between commercial branding and artistic expression. The 'Grin' series, in particular, is renowned for juxtaposing iconic childhood figures with a distorted, almost carnivalesque smile, evoking a sense of nostalgia while simultaneously challenging viewers to reconsider the symbols of their youth. The MC Supersized figure, with its oversized grin and exaggerated features, symbolizes Ron English's subversive approach to familiar corporate mascots. By transforming these figures into high art, English invites discourse on the impact of brand imagery in our daily lives and how it can be celebrated and critiqued. This Chase Glitter Gold MC Supersized Grin is more than a toy; it is a piece of contemporary art that encapsulates the playful yet critical spirit of street pop and graffiti artwork. Collectors who acquire it are not only obtaining a piece of Ron English's storied career but are also engaging with the broader dialogue about the intersection of art, commerce, and society.
