Ron English: “The Secret History of Kiss”, 2008

Erik Foss: “Smokem If You Gotem”, 2008

Neue Arbeiten von Popaganda-Großmeister Ron English und Collage-Extremist Erik Foss gibt es ab November in der Shooting Gallery in San Francisco zu sehen. Für seine Serie “The Secret History of Kiss” hat English alte Meister mit dem Look der US-Rockband Kiss geremixt. “Ron not only reinterprets the original, he breathes new life and a new vitality into the work that holds it’s own against the tide of postmodern critique. His now famous style of reinventing classical masterpieces with Kiss faces awakens attitudes about politics, society, and media.” Und: “Erik Foss’ iconography of cultural critique collapses the perceptual boundaries between pornography, poverty and politics to underscore the collective anxiety and violence of our time.” Via
