Ron English's exhibition at the Time to Be Happy gallery showcases his signature collectible art toys, encapsulating a playful blend of nostalgia and contemporary art. The gallery, described by owner Benzi as a modern agora, invites visitors to interact with the art, breaking away from traditional exhibition norms. These art toys highlight the growing niche market in New York for designer sculptures, attracting a diverse community of collectors who resonate with the themes of childhood and creativity. English's progression from graffiti to toy art epitomizes this cultural shift toward more accessible art forms.
English believes that toy art merges childhood nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics, creating a unique niche that encourages collectors to embrace their inner child.
Benzi emphasizes that the Time to Be Happy gallery is breaking traditional gallery norms, allowing people to engage with art in a relaxed and communal setting.
