ABOUT THIS ART:
"Using a mixture of imagery, medium, and process referenced from masters who have spoken to and through me such as Warhol, Pollack and Picasso, combined with idiosyncratic cherrypicking of populist totems from fast food to cartoons, I am constructing running narratives of my many alter egos butting headfirst into the Grand Illusion, where cultural norms are questioned and exposed."
–Ron English
ABOUT RON ENGLISH:
Ron English is widely considered a seminal figure in the advancement of street art away from traditional wild-style lettering into clever statement and masterful trompe l’oeil based art. He has created illegal murals and billboards that blend stunning visuals with biting political, consumerist and surrealist statements, hijacking public space worldwide for the sake of art since the 1980s.

Escaparate Habanos Photograph Frame
This frame features the legendary photograph taken at the Partagas Factory in 2000.
Between making and packing, the cigars are taken to the conditioning room or "Escaparate". Here in cedar lined drawers, they are left to rest while they shed the excess moisture that was gained in the rolling process. They are meant to stay for minimum one week, however, the longer they stay there, the better.
The Escaparate room is often referred to as the "treasury". It is here that the wealth of a factory is stored. The cigars were stored in bundles of 50, known as media reeds, or "half wheels".
This photo was taken in the Partagas Factory, Escaparate, 2000/. La Habana, Cuba
