All of the above leave a victim who has to carry the marks of the 'act' both physically and psychologically, probably making them change their outlook on humanity forever - leading to future trust issues, flashbacks, etc...

If there is a line it's a fine one

I'm pretty sure at this point of his carreer Ron English must have managers or at least some advises before doing a job so he must knew. Beside google "Chris Brown" you can't miss the beating.
But there is another way to see the whole affair, Chris Brown has a job and some people think (not my cup of tea) he is good at it. Does the rest matter when we are talking business? I assume it doesn't for Ron English.
It is like Bill Clinton with the Monica affair. It has nothing to do with his job... well it is not the same because it was not a criminal behaviour but you have the idea.
Honestly I don't know what I think. I guess I have no interest for Chris Brown nor Ron English ;D

I sure hope op never falls off his pedestal and has to join us mortals down on earth.

nobody condones what chris brown did, and saying that anyone who works with him supports his actions is ludicrous.

rather not. the sad truth is we likely all know people who beat their wives and we just don't know it.

Bad art and a bad decision. Rihanna was probably putting it about anyway the dirty minx.

Really looking forward to this - it's not his first UK exhibition though!

FROM JUNE 24 to July 23, 2011, Lazarides Gallery is presenting the first UK exhibition of paintings by painter, pundit and prankster, Ron English.

Entitled Skin Deep: Post-Instinctual Afterthoughts on Psychological Portraiture, it explores the intersections, discrepancies and synchronicities of personal mythologies on display in our public personas.

Skin Deep presents multi-layered portraits of some of his most iconic characters, tracing the arc of their inner lives.

Often using his children as models, English chronicles the soul’s sojourn through Pop dioramas of fear and appetite, aspiration and rage. While paying homage to the great art before him, English maintains his very personal point of view, transforming the public to intimate and the universal to specific.

One theme the artist has returned to time and again and features in the show is Picasso’s Guernica, which English considers to be a modern template, much as the Madonna and Child is an ancient one. English approaches the Guernica template cognizant of its significance as visual shorthand for the overwhelming and gratuitous horror of modern war.

He says, “I have put my own spin on Guernica more than 50 times, using different characters and mirroring the composition more or less faithfully in various versions, but I am always riffing on the same basic message—that cultural bias is embedded in our narrative. My Guernicas call attention to the product placement of global corporate culture, using war as entertainment and entertainment as war.”

Using a mixture of imagery, medium and process referenced from great masters such as Warhol, Pollack and Picasso, combined with irreverent cherry-picking of populist totems from fast food to cartoons, English creates complex running narratives of his many alter-egos butting headfirst into the Grand Illusion, where unstated cultural norms are exposed and analysed.

In addition to his fine art painting, English is widely considered a catalytic figure in the advancement of street art away from traditional wild-style lettering and into clever statement and masterful trompe l’oeil based art. Creating illegal murals and billboards that blend stunning visuals with biting political, consumerist and surrealist statements, English has hijacked public space worldwide for the sake of art.

The BIG question for me is what's going on at the Elms Lesters???

Have Paul & Fiona decided to give it a rest for a while...? I know they're still supporting Adam but I would love to see more shows at the Elms.

Haven't been to Elms for ages.

Looks like a good show at Laz.

Are they paintings or sculptures?

Totally forgot about this, but just walked past and it looks like the preview is tonight.
Looks incredible!!!

any pic's then ...
