The 'Abraham Obama' Image Takes On Milan
It's a great summer for a trip to Italy; not only is Venice hosting their art biennale, but Milan today kicks off a gallery exhibition of the "pop"-aganda artist Ron English.
Most famous for his "Abraham Obama" image pictured above, Ron takes inspiration from cartoons, corporate branding, and the works of Andy Warhol. As a result, his paintings and posters are bright riffs on popular culture meant to inspire re-examination of the symbols we see everyday; for example, his work was featured in the movie Super Size Me.
Although we occasionally are lucky enough to spot some of his posters around the corner, heading to Milan to see his oeuvre sounds way more exotic. The Don Gallery will host the exhibition from today through August 25.
