Artist Ron English views Consumerism and Religion as the desire to dominate (PHOTOS)

Posted on 02:23 by the great khali
HUFFINGTON POST  | ARTS
Ron English is an outlaw of sorts, known for converting cultural icons into agitprop creations that make us pause and reconsider the objects, cultural figures, and packaged goods around us. But don't for a second think that his status as an icon of the art world means that he isn't still a threat; the artist will always be exploring the fraught relationship between advertising, art, and activism. [He critiques and combines] elements from religion, capitalism, advertising and politics easily, as if they are all different ideas on a level playing field. [link]
