Artists Ron English and Adam Neate will share more than their ideology in an upcoming two man show at the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms (London) in May.

Press it. You know you want to….

The two images above are the work of the American Ron English, and they neatly encapsulate his intellectual approach to his art, wherein every cultural icon is up for grabs and ripe for reinterpretation.
Have a look at this excerpt from “POPaganda: The Art and Subversion of Ron English”. He’s working in a thoroughly post modern arena whose early pioneers were Hippies, Yippies and Adbusters.
Adam Neate’s label is “Street artist” which might help to justify the alignment of these two artists in the same exhibition, and they found they shared common ground when Neate wrote a gushing fan letter to English.
Neate first came to public attention by leaving thousand(s?) of his paintings on the streets (and the pavements too, presumably) of London, for people to take, or leave, at will.
