Yes, you have seen this before. However, the popularity of the original set (limited to just 250) merits a second series, and this time each cup and saucer combo is indvidually numbered. Once again manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, Ron English’s tea set is not only great pop art but great ceramic as well.

Available here.

California Kustom, now on view at Riverside Art Museum, essentially covers “Lowbrow” art as the term relates to the California “Pop Surrealist Movement.” The coverage is, understandably broad… it has to be, the practitioners themselves veering from the core and continuing to expand scope. Included is work by Anthony Ausgang, Van Arno, Coop, Ron English, Michael Hussar, Johnny Ryan, Suzanne Williams, and William Stout. Each defines the movement differently and succeeds in a mastery of their own distinct expression.

California Kustom runs to January 8, 2011. Arrested Motion hit the opening reception. More highlights from the exhibition follow.

Ron English, the modern master of Popaganda sat down with Upper Playground and FIFTY24SF for an interview feature in The Run UP. Watch the video, courtesy of Walrus TV, to hear English’s views on censorship and commercialism, and its relationship to public space. You can also hear from the man himself about getting sued, spending weekends in jail and his move from billboard to canvas, and how that has shaped his work. Definitely worth checking out!

Ron English will mount an exhibition of his latest works, Mythographic Vicissitudes, at FIFTY24SF Gallery on January 8. The work is based on variations of modern mythologies. Involved is a mash of religion, art history, and obviously, a bit of tall tale mythology. The run is three weeks, ending January 29, 2009.

FIFTY24SF Gallery is located at 252 Filmore St., San Francisco, CA.
