Ralph Steadman鈥檚 art is visceral and alive; it rips from the heart and penetrates the psyche. It is not calming. It wakes you up, smacks you around a bit, and thrusts you into the world with open eyes. Ralph is not here to comfort us. He is a truth-teller with a pen mightier than the sword, a wickedly funny jester with no fear of the king.鈥 鈥 Tim Robbins

Ralph Steadman's extensive body of听work听not only explores the听nature of the human condition but also inspires generations of artists. Whether wielding ink, acrylic, or pastels on any surface, Steadman sculpts one-of-a-kind visions while approaching each subject with unparalleled energy, vigor, and wit.

Renowned for his collaboration with maverick Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, this exhibition explores the extraordinary dynamics Steadman brings to any creative partnership.

It features over 100 original artworks, including his work with Ceri Levy on the Gonzovation Trilogy, depicting extinct and endangered birds and animals, and his groundbreaking Psychogeography series with British journalist Will Self for the Independent newspaper.

This show promises an epic journey through Ralph Steadman's remarkable career. It will astonish die-hard fans and captivate those discovering his work for the first time. The 小蓝视频 Museum is proud to be the first to host this extraordinary touring exhibition in the U.S.
