+ OVERVIEW
Ron English, the famous American POP-ART master, is regarded as the most influential pop artist of the time. In the early 1990s, English was famous for making Billboard advertisements to promote anti-idolatry, and humorously spoofing well-known famous characters, art masterpieces, character to transformation. And he also createds the term POPaganda, adding own unique perspectives, presenting high and low cultural interactions, the irony of modern society and consumerism. The lot 036 Sunflower Grinnie is the work, which English combines Dutch painter Van Gogh's sunflower image, with his own most famous Pouting series. The lovely Sunflower is anthropomorphized and laughs like a child in the center of the picture, humorously matched with another Van Gogh's masterpiece Starry Sky as the background. There are scenes like toy fast food restaurants below. The overall visual effect is very colorful, interesting and makes the audience laugh.
