POPaganda: The Art & Subversion of Ron English film & video features
about the work
Pedro Carvajal profiles Ron English, the artist and activist who dares to hijack corporate advertising by using familiar words and images to create confrontational art with a message. Whether attacking a popular fast-food chain with a manipulated image of its well-known icon emblazoned with the words, "Phat Food," or taking on a tobacco giant by simply covering its logo with the word "breathe," English urges his audience to reevaluate and resist what they see. This film captures his art and his spirit.
