RON ENGLISH (Chicago, 1959) for Made by Monsters Toys. "Mouse Mask Murphy". Limited edition, copy 63/300. Vinyl. With publisher's stamps and numbered. With original box. Produced by Made by Monsters Toys. In good condition. Measurements: 22 cm (height); 26 x 28.5 x 14.5 cm (box). Ron English x Made by Monsters JPS released this "Bondage Shaved Mouse Mask Murphy" chained to one of English's signature designs, the "Bondage Smiley Grin". Ron English's Art Toys are a mix between pop art and propaganda that follows the concept of "Culture Jamming", which can be translated as cultural sabotage or diversion, in which he incorporates iconography derived from superhero comics, art history, advertising or politics. English thus plays with the iconography of multinationals, popular culture or art history, such as Joe Camel, McDonalds, Vincent vanGogh or Mickey Mouse, versioning and satirizing them to symbolize the opposite of the values they represent. English's name has appeared in the most important magazines in the world (The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Miami Herald, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Art News, Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, Creem, Juxtapoz Magazine, Hi Fructosa, Mad Magazine, among others). His film and television appearances include Exit Through the Gift Shop, Supersize Me, The Simpsons, Work of Art, Street Art Throwdown, CNN, BBC, Sky TV and many others. In addition to his art practices and murals, English has produced album covers for musicians such as Dandy Warhols and Slash, art for the documentary Super Size Me and various Art Toys. In good condition.
