A raucous and rollicking journey through the wild frontiers of Pop culture this exhibition offers a fresh new spin on Romeo's signature brand of bombastic Neo-Expressionist Pop.
Blending elements of painting, sculpture and strip-mall signage to transform the sun-scorched desert of the Western frontier into a lawless, neon, wasteland of sharpshooters and punk rock rogues.
"With WASTELAND, I wanted to approach my art practice with the same unpredictability and hell-or-high water attitude as the cowboys and mavericks on my canvases", says Romeo. "I've always been attracted to the imagery and energy of country Western movies - not just the cowboys, barroom brawls and lawlessness, but also the pioneering spirit and the desire to forge new worlds".
Part street artist, part graffiti artist, part pop artist, Johnny's roots are intrinsically linked to the street art scene of Sydney's inner west in the 1980's and 1990's. Johnny uses the genre of pop art to make bold claims and assertions about history and consequently about both our present and our future.
Considered one of Australia's most exciting young talents Johnny's work is fast becoming highly collectable.
'Wasteland' opens 6pm Friday 23rd September with Romeo attending the opening.
Romeo will also conduct an Artist Talk discussing his inspiration and practice on Saturday 24th September from 2pm.
The exhibition is showing from 21st September to October 15th. This is a free event.
