ART-013 Ron English — "Absente" Surreal Pop Surrealist Giclée on Canvas, Framed, 19" × 15.75"

A striking original color giclée on canvas by Ron English (American, born 1959) — one of the most influential and widely collected artists in the Pop Surrealist and Street Art movements. Created as part of the Absente liqueur advertising campaign, this work showcases English's signature style at its most exuberant: surreal, hyper-detailed, and wickedly satirical.

Ron English is internationally recognized as a pioneer of "POPaganda" — his term for his own brand of art that subverts advertising imagery and pop culture iconography into something simultaneously beautiful, unsettling, and deeply critical of consumer society. His work has been exhibited worldwide, collected by major institutions, and his imagery has appeared on everything from album covers to feature films. He is widely credited as one of the founding figures of the contemporary street art movement.
