Art The Adam and Ron Show

  • English---muslim-mickey_event_full

Roll up, roll up: The Adam and Ron Show is coming to town, bringing together two urban artists from either side of the pond. Adam Neate is a young British artist who started out by leaving his vibrant, cardboard-canvas paintings around London for anyone to pick up and take home, but whose work now sells to the highest bidder at auction. The deceptively named Ron English, meanwhile, is the legendary New York billboard artist who coined the word "subvertisements" for his guerilla works. In the exhibition's 50-foot-wide centrepiece, English reinterprets Picasso's famed Guernica mural, replacing the iconic anguished figures with cartoon characters, children and American footballers.
