Ron English (1959) - Sign of the Crimes - GOLDENROD metal

This is your chance for a limited edition large 61 × 61 x 5 cm archival UV-cured print on gloss varnished HD aluminum panel mounted on a thick wooden frame - Goldenrod orange version. The metal surface and the black finish of the frame gives the piece a very clean, gallery-quality presence. The glossy surface enhances the richness of the vivid colors and gives so fresh and clean feel. Issued in collaboration between Ron English and fine art print company 1XRUN, with certificate signed by the artist. Here you find the representation of the most iconic and recognizable of Ron English`s characters the Grin Smiley. One of the best and cleanest artist's examples of the juxtaposition of the clean and positive pop culture and the hyper-realistic grinning skull. The tension between innocence and darkness gives the work a striking and memorable presence. Ron English, know as the "Godfather" of street art is a leading figure in contemporary street art, known for his provocative billboard takeovers and his signature POPaganda style. Since the 1980s, he has reworked familiar pop icons and advertising imagery into satirical, hyperrealist compositions that critique consumer culture. His approach expanded street art beyond graffiti toward sharper, concept-driven commentary. English’s influence spans pop-surrealism, designer toys, and gallery art, making him a key figure in bridging underground street intervention with contemporary visual culture. The artwork is in perfect state and has not been exposed. You get the exact object from the photos. It will be shipped with insurance, very carefully packaged and protected in a sturdy box.
