Ron English / Guernica
Allouche Gallery is pleased to present its �rst solo show in the Meatpacking District, Ron English/Guernica, featuring the inaugural debut of eighteen new paintings by the proli�c contemporaryPop and street artist, Ron English. The exhibition will remain on view at Allouche Gallery from September 22 to October 19, 2016.
The exhibition’s title and its pieces reference English’s own narrative to Pablo Picasso’s 1937painting Guernica, which is praised as one of the most famous anti-war paintings in history. While Picasso’s Guernica was painted in response to the bombing of a village in northern Spain,English utilizes the modern war template to relay powerful messages about the endless cycles ofcreation and destruction.
The artist has been working on the Ron English / Guernica show for over two years. He has examined the templates obsessively to imagine the truth in experience from every angle. Eachpiece from this body of work forces the viewer to face cultural biases that are embedded in ourconsciousness. “I don’t believe I will ever exhaust the possibilities of the [Guernica] template,with its unending power to visually articulate the raging complexities of waste, destruction, horrorand conquest, through its deceptively simpli�ed narrative,” says English.
