Rone : Street Art And Beyond
Hardback Edition: 1
Known for his multi-storey murals gracing buildings all over the world, Melbourne-based artist Rone uses his work to explore the friction and connection between beauty and decay, youth and ruin. Rone was a seminal figure in the explosive Melbourne street art scene of the early 2000s. With his beginnings in street art, stencil and screen printing, Rone is now best known for his haunting images of womens faces, rendered in arresting detail on silos and store fronts, museums and apartment blocks.
Rone: Street Art and Beyond presents a survey of the artists work from the street, the studio, and the ephemeral installations. The works are bookended by essays that trace the evolution of Rones career over the last two decades, delve into his depictions of women, and go behind the scenes of his most ambitious installation to date: Empire (2019), set in the disused Art Deco mansion Burnham Beeches on the outskirts of Melbourne.
