{"title":"Johnny Romeo","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Romeo is an Australian contemporary pop artist. His works infuse the aesthetics of print-based Warholian Pop with a street-art speed and grit, all executed through some strange on-canvas alchemy in acrylic and oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe works heavily reference recent and current popular culture, unabashedly harvesting politicians, celebrities, pinups, and comic book heroes and villains, as protagonists. Rendered in muted pop hues, like high vibrancy paint applied thinly over stubborn grey concrete, these recognisable personalities often juxtapose witty stenciled wordplay, some letters scratched out to create unlikely double\u003cbr\u003eand triple entendre's out of previously stale slogans and rehashed platitudes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the graphic style Romeo equally engages in, he simultaneously critiques consumer culture and branding in relation to the construction of personal identity. The artist exposes the childishness of our apparent ideals and elucidates what\u003cbr\u003ewestern culture has found to replace its heroes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny lives and works in Sydney and Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"crash-proof","title":"Crash Proof -

Promise Land Blues, however, sees the artist fully take the plunge down the\u003cbr\u003esurrealist rabbit-hole to create a Technicolour acid trip that masterfully mashes the\u003cbr\u003eGrateful Dead and Johnny Cash with Pop slickness and a gleeful flair for the absurd.\u003cbr\u003eIn the painting, Romeo appropriates The Grateful Dead’s legendary skull logo, taken\u003cbr\u003efrom their 1976 live double album ‘Steal Your Face’ and deftly replaces the lightening\u003cbr\u003ein the skull with a confectionary-coloured portrait of Johnny Cash. The delightful\u003cbr\u003evisual pun, which literally ‘steals’ Cash’s face, acknowledges the connection between\u003cbr\u003ethe country star and the Grateful Dead, who famously covered Cash’s track ‘Big River’\u003cbr\u003eas part of their ‘Steal Your Face’ live set. With his penchant for boisterous wordplay\u003cbr\u003ein full swing, Romeo transforms the word assemblage ‘Big River’ into ‘Big Quiver’,\u003cbr\u003ea tongue-in-cheek nod to the shaky, weathered, baritone that made Cash one of\u003cbr\u003ethe most distinctive voices in music. The sugar-coated palette and playfulness with\u003cbr\u003ewhich Romeo depicts ‘The Man In Black’ belies the underlying sense of melancholy\u003cbr\u003eetched on to the singer’s expression, which becomes apparent when one considers\u003cbr\u003ethe parallels created between Cash and alternative rock crooner Jeff Buckley.\u003cbr\u003eWhile never explicitly named, ‘Big River’ has long been considered a quintessential\u003cbr\u003e‘geography song’ dedicated to one of the most iconic locations in American culture,\u003cbr\u003ethe Mississippi River. The river holds a sombre note for Buckley, who was found dead\u003cbr\u003eafter drowning in Wolf River Harbor, a water channel off the Mississippi River. Johnny\u003cbr\u003eRomeo subtly pays tribute to Buckley through the arrangement of Cash’s head,\u003cbr\u003ewhich floats within the skull motif as if drifting down a deathly river. Entitled Promise\u003cbr\u003eLand Blues, the work pays homage to the influence of 50’s rock icon Chuck Berry,\u003cbr\u003ewhose song ‘Promised Land’ was covered by The Grateful Dead on ‘Steal Your Face’.\u003cbr\u003eConsidered one of the founding fathers of rock’n’roll, Berry’s fusion of rhythm and\u003cbr\u003eblues with guitar solos and teenage rebellion left an indelible mark on the musical\u003cbr\u003elandscape. This is reflected in the ‘blues of the title’, which also tips its hat to one\u003cbr\u003eof Cash’s classic numbers ‘Folsom Prison Blues’. Romeo caps off the painting on a\u003cbr\u003echeekily speculative note that recalls a lyric from Oasis’ ‘Who Feels Love’, envisioning\u003cbr\u003ePromise Land Blues as an imaginary Johnny Cash song in which the singer questions\u003cbr\u003ewhether the Mississippi River is the Promised Land of which people have spoken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32441575866428,"sku":"","price":13100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/products\/Promise-land-web.jpg?v=1606002727"},{"product_id":"penny-lane","title":"Penny Lane -

The painting is a hyper-coloured mash-up of comic book wonderment and skateboarding reverie that reimagines Superman in a daring new light as a spirited skateboarder in classic superhero garb defying gravity through both flight and slick aerial trickery. In the work, Romeo skillfully mashes together inspiration from Superman’s preoccupation with the skies and skate culture’s fascination with ‘getting air’ to delve into the symbolism of lifting the heavens to rise above your problems. With his calm and carefree expression, Superman appears unencumbered by the reality of shouldering the burdens and responsibilities of his heroic destiny. The Man of Steel glides effortlessly on wheels as he soars through the skies, upturning expectations about his traditional airborne feats and embracing his newfound love for skateboarding. Eyes fixed on the horizon, Superman’s ascent prompts us to gaze skyward, echoing the timeless call of ‘up, up, and away’. Yet Air Raid transcends mere spectacle. Moving away from the militaristic connotations of ‘air raiding’ enemies with bombs, Romeo’s superhero air raid serves as an artistic shakeup that urges us to elevate our mundane experiences and reach for the extraordinary.  Rounding off the artwork on a truly uplifting note, the word assemblage ‘\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"\u003eSkies\u003c\/span\u003e High’ becomes ‘Rise High’, a rousing declaration inviting us all to soar alongside Superman and embrace the limitless possibilities that await above.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413038444828,"sku":null,"price":7300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_AirRaid_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas101cmx101cm_40_x40_a52acf20-07d1-4258-822f-a87d06d86c18.png?v=1713236904"},{"product_id":"hustle-strong-2024","title":"Hustle Strong, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHustle Strong, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1010 x 1010 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOLD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe legendary martial artist Bruce Lee once famously advised us ‘to be like water’.  For Lee, emptying your mind and being formless and shapeless like water gives you the freedom to adapt and grow without being trapped in a certain mindset. In Hustle Strong, Johnny Romeo takes Bruce Lee’s philosophy and pushes it to its comically literal conclusion by transforming the kung fu master into water. Lee stares down at an unseen opponent outside of the canvas with his arm raised, ready to strike, while his reflection is refracted and distorted in the water below. Renowned for his near superhuman strength and hardworking training regime, Bruce Lee’s unwavering commitment to cultivating a strong body and mind is the very definition of ‘True Grit’. In contrast to the defeatist attitude of ‘True \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"\u003eQuit’\u003c\/span\u003e, Romeo’s Technicolour rendition of Bruce Lee reminds us to never give up and to find true strength within ourselves, a point further captured in the brash title Hustle Strong. A true pioneer of Pop culture, Lee hustled hard to shine a spotlight on Asian representation and cinema and bridge the gaps between the East and West. At the same time, Romeo uses the titular ‘hustle’ to reference the zany 2004 martial arts action comedy ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ and inject the painting with a humorously absurdist energy. As one of the most popular martial arts movies of recent memory, the rivers of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’s’ success all flow back to the legacy and influence of Bruce Lee. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413074161948,"sku":null,"price":7300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_HustleStrong_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas101cmx101cm_40_x40_42301131-b755-4031-9fee-1cf219ce76bf.png?v=1713237809"},{"product_id":"new-hope-2024","title":"New Hope, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew Hope, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1010 x 1010 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$6500 AUD \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Johnny Romeo’s Technicolour galaxy far, far away, the fearsome hatred of the Sith is replaced by an infinitely higher power – Soul Power. Taking its name from the 1977 sci-fi classic that kickstarted the Star Wars franchise, New Hope portrays a pastel-hued Stormtrooper holding a single rose as he kindly looks at the audience. According to Star Wars lore, the first Stormtroopers were elite warriors cloned to enforce the oppressive rule of the Galactic Empire. These clones were replaced by human stormtroopers conscripted by the Empire to quash the Republic Alliance. With his latest painting, Romeo envisions a third version of the stormtrooper, an ethical soldier of reason who has abandoned the brutality of his forebears to embark upon a path of compassion and empathy. The ‘New Hope’ of the title takes on a new meaning, with Romeo transforming the word assemblage ‘\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"\u003eSith\u003c\/span\u003e’ Power’ into ‘Soul Power’ to highlight the stormtrooper’s renewed sense of purpose as a soldier of reason and love who, like John and Yoko, is now dedicated to ‘giving peace a chance’. No longer drawing his strength from the dark wells of the Sith, Romeo’s New Age stormtrooper is empowered by the hopeful, upbeat funk of Soul Power. The symbol of the rose embodies the spiritual transfiguration of the stormtrooper, who honours the sacrifice of his fallen comrades by pursuing a life in service of beauty and courage. At the same time, the rose rounds off the painting with a slight sting, calling to mind the iconic confrontation of a Ukrainian lady offering sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers while reminding them that the seeds will be nourished from their decomposing corpses.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413095559452,"sku":null,"price":7100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_NewHope_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas101cmx101cm_40_x40_35cd0865-9c9a-4dd2-ae95-a2c62acd7a4c.png?v=1713238633"},{"product_id":"soaky-bubble-2024","title":"Soaky Bubble, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoaky Bubble, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1010 x 1010 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOLD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWade through the bubbly waters of art history with Johnny Romeo’s cheeky tribute to Pop Art innuendo, Soaky Bubble. Full of bright, bubblegum hues, the painting playfully appropriates Roy Lichtenstein’s classic work ‘Woman in Bath’ (1963). The subject of the woman in the bath has long been a popular trope throughout art history, with Lichtenstein himself drawing inspiration from the ‘Bath of Venus’ motif popularized by painters like François Boucher (1751) and Sir William Blake Richmond (1895). By positioning himself within this cultural lineage, Romeo encourages us to explore how notions of beauty and feminine desire have shifted over time. The artist injects a healthy dose of fun into his revisionist Kitsch Pop take on Lichtenstein’s painting, replacing the soapy sponge of the original with a comically over-sized duck. Romeo doubles down on the gleeful absurdity of the duck through the slick word play of ‘Rubber \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\"\u003ePluck\u003c\/span\u003e Duck,’ referencing his own creative process of ‘plucking’ Florentin Hofman’s famous floating rubber duck sculptures from art history and inserting one into his own bubble bath playground. Considerations of consumerism and pop culture also play a key role in the work, with Romeo using the title Soaky Bubble to artfully recall the collectable Soaky Bubble soaps popularised by Palmolive in the 1960s. In contrast, the giant rubber duck held by Romeo’s soapy seductress points to our own materialistic attitudes today, where bigger is always better.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413099360540,"sku":null,"price":7300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_SoakyBubble_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas101cmx101cm_40_x40_a6bcb1c8-9100-4efc-b875-216c588afcfe.png?v=1713238872"},{"product_id":"stay-gold-2025","title":"Stay Gold, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStay Gold, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas with black tray frame \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1220 x 1220 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$9,700 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIn Johnny Romeo’s Kitsch Pop world, Van Gogh’s influence on art has been so groundbreaking that he has us seeing triple. Stay Gold portrays the legendary Dutch artist as a deity-like, candy-coloured triptych whose three faces have morphed together in a style similar to Cubism, a nod to the immense impact that Van Gogh has had on Modern Art. Drawing on his arsenal of art references, Romeo’s triple-vision Van Gogh tips his hat to the artist’s three paintings of his iconic bedroom in Arles. References to triplets are further explored through the word assemblage ‘Triple \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\"\u003eCut\u003c\/span\u003e Up’. Plagued by mental illness throughout his adult life, Van Gogh infamously cut off his left ear after a heated argument with the artist Paul Gauguin. In the painting, however, the ‘triple cut’ of Van Gogh’s severed ear has intentionally disappeared, even though his face appears three times. By removing the symbol of Van Gogh’s madness and melancholy, Romeo reclaims the Dutch master from the very depression that took his life and re-envisions him as a figure of hope. We can see this through the text passage ‘Triple Up’, an allusion to the three-finger salute from the Hunger Games series which has been adopted as a symbol of rebellion and strength by pro-democracy movements in Southeast Asia. Van Gogh’s optimistic new lease on life is further captured in the warmth joy of the painting’s title Stay Gold and its connection to yellow, the painter’s favourite and most used colour. Yellow was a constant throughout Van Gogh’s life, featuring in his famous sunflower paintings, his memories of his father and the Yellow House in Arles where he painted his bedroom.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48413779329308,"sku":null,"price":9700.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_StayGold_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas122cmx122cm_48_x48_258f50e0-94be-47c5-80f3-51189b3b2809.png?v=1713241169"},{"product_id":"pinky-ring-2024","title":"Pinky Ring, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePinky Ring, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1220 x 1220 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOLD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eStep into a candy-coated wonderland where old adversaries become front-row entertainment in Pinky Ring.

The artwork slyly riffs off gangster tropes through the inclusion of a vibrant pink lunar ring hanging behind the cat. In the mafia, pinky rings were a sign of power, authority, and achievement. Romeo builds on the lavish and opulent undertones of the titular pinky ring by masterfully connecting it to Bruno Mars’ 2016 ode to excess ’24K Magic’ and its extravagant refrain of putting ‘your pinky rings up to the moon’. Cypress Hill’s 2001 gangster anthem ‘Lowrider’ is also cleverly referenced, with its street-hardened insistence on lifting your ‘hands in the air with the pinky rings’. By gazing upward towards the cat, the fish aspires to be his feline foe, a formidable figure who has taken their destiny by the reins and is living their fullest life. The cat, in contrast, watches and waits with patient attentiveness, masterfully aware of the influence of his gestures and the power he wields. Pinky Ring beckons viewers to revel in the moment, to reach for the pinnacle of wealth and luxury, and to celebrate life's most extravagant pleasures.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48414948851996,"sku":null,"price":9700.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_PinkyRing_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas122cmx122cm_48_x48_6c91effc-a825-4fcc-9739-b7206977b864.png?v=1713242280"},{"product_id":"gritty-rider-2024","title":"Gritty Rider, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGritty Rider, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1220 x 1220 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eStrap on tight and take a ride on the wild side with Johnny Romeo’s rollicking homage to living dangerously, Gritty Rider. Brimming with bold, striking colours, the painting depicts a gritty jaguar-panther hybrid baring his teeth ferociously while donning a vintage motorcycle helmet. The artwork channels the spirit of vintage bikers, and the free-wheeling defiance of the classic 1969 motorcycle film ‘Easy Rider’ with its teen-rebel anthem, Steppenwolf’s ‘Born to be Wild’. References to ‘Easy Rider’ are cleverly interwoven with the lion-hearted spirit of the wild biker cat though the artwork’s brazen title Gritty Rider, a perfect encapsulation of the bravery, courage, and determination of the cat. Within the context of the work, the wild cat represents the inner beast that lives within each of us who encourages us to push the limits and live life on the edge. Romeo expresses this sentiment by transforming the text passage ‘\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: line-through;\"\u003eGrumble\u003c\/span\u003e Ready’ into the powerful declaration ‘Rumble Ready’. With its allusions to street fights and Muhammed Ali’s ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, the phrase is a call to action that beckons the viewer to leave their grumbling days behind them and embrace a lightning-like readiness to tackle life head-on. Like the wild cat, we should heed the thunderous roar of our inner beast, strap on our helmet and embark on a journey of self-discovery with unwavering resolve.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePlease note for overseas buyers the NZ gst (tax)  component can be deducted please get in touch \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boyddunlop.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e for a shipping quote\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48414965989660,"sku":null,"price":9700.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_GrittyRider_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas122cmx122cm_48_x48_8ab81b29-c6c0-4625-b4a7-2495697b6371.png?v=1713242349"},{"product_id":"fancy-crew-2024","title":"Fancy Crew, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFancy Crew, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1220 x 1220 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEven the toughest superheroes have a soft side. In Fancy Crew, Johnny Romeo portrays Batman in an unusual moment of vulnerability as he cradles a feline companion in his arms. Through the subtle interplay of colours, reminiscent of the original Joker, the artwork encapsulates the complexity of Batman's psyche, exploring themes of emotional resilience and connection amidst the neon-drenched darkness of Romeo’s Kitsch Pop Gotham City. Despite his stoic reputation, the Dark Knight's stern expression betrays a glimpse of empathy, hinting at the inner turmoil masked by his stoicism. The symbol of the cat ingeniously mirrors Batman's emotional restraint, referencing the cat’s tendency to hide their pain for as long as possible to not draw the attention of predators. Romeo builds on the duality between bat and cat, stoicism and vulnerability through the word assemblage ‘\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"\u003eStray\u003c\/span\u003e Stay Stoic’. With its initial nod to the ‘stray’ cat featured in the painting, the textual shift to ‘Stay Stoic’ strikes at the core of Batman’s humanity. Far from the hardened, emotionally distant superhero we know him as, Batman is a deeply empathetic human being who chooses to be extremely guarded because he feels too much for the people around him. On a lighter note, the painting’s title Fancy Crew cleverly alludes to the relationship between Batman and Gotham’s finest feline femme fatale, Catwoman. In particular, Romeo pays homage to the nicknames that Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Bruce Wayne have for each when they are out of their costumes – Cat and Bat.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johnny Romeo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48414980243740,"sku":null,"price":9700.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0006\/3927\/0972\/files\/JohnnyRomeo_FancyCrew_2024_acrylicandoiloncanvas122cmx122cm_48_x48_055a600f-ecf1-460f-bc07-3bd5b494f0cd.png?v=1713242407"},{"product_id":"boss-up-2024","title":"Boss Up, 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eJOHNNY ROMEO\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBoss Up, 2024 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eacrylic and oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e410 x 410 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSOLD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlways remember to dream big, even when you are a bulldog with aspirations of power and a thirst for empire.

In the painting, Romeo depicts an effortlessly chill skeleton awash in twilit, synth-wave purple and blue hues donning a fresh hoodie as he looks nonchalantly out into the distance. Ditching his dusty robes for something more youthful and modern, Romeo’s swaggy skeleton is a hilariously revamped vision of Death for the fashionable streetwear generation. Romeo continues the playfully irreverent spirit of Ghost Patrol through his knack for side-splittingly comical wordplay. Formerly renowned for his ability to spread fear in the hearts of mortals, the skeletal figure has abandoned his ‘\u003cs\u003eSpook\u003c\/s\u003e Appeal’ for something infinitely trendier – ‘Hood Appeal’. In doing so, Romeo amusingly subverts the macabre connotations of the title Ghost Patrol, portraying a wraith more likely to stalk the hipster haunts of Brooklyn than the eerie grounds of your local graveyard.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\" lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist.

If you want to make your dreams a reality, there’s no use in waiting around. You need to get to work. In \u003ci\u003eGet Busy, \u003c\/i\u003eJohnny Romeo re-imagines Wonder Woman as a headstrong, candy-coloured superhero for the feminist age who has transformed her anxiety into action. Staring out at the audience, Wonder Woman’s former expression of quiet anxiousness has been reborn as a gaze of resolute self-possession, as she commits herself to being the change she wants to see in the world. Romeo charts this empowering transition from fretfulness to forward motion through his cheeky shifting of the phrase ‘\u003cs\u003eFret \u003c\/s\u003eBusy’ to ‘Get Busy’. Wonder Woman doesn’t have time to be hysterical or wallow in self-doubt when she’s busy kicking through glass ceilings and being a star, as highlighted by the radiant star beaming from her tiara. The title \u003ci\u003eGet Busy, \u003c\/i\u003ewith its allusions to Sean Paul’s 2003 dancehall smash hit of the same name, injects the painting with a pulsating energy that perfectly matches Wonder Woman’s spunky, can-do attitude.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

In the painting, Johnny Romeo filters the cover of Lou Reed’s iconic album ‘Transformer’ (1972) through his signature Kitsch Pop lens, honing in on the urban poet’s vacant, faraway stare as he looks up into the ether with a mixture of bemusement and apathy. Reed’s untethered gaze barely meets ours, instead passing through us with laconic wit while hinting at a hidden, inner turmoil. There is something muted about the painting’s colour palette and Reed’s expression, an allusion to glam rock’s pomp and brightness slowly becoming muddied by the concrete hymns of urban decay. In the same way, the rock legend’s ‘Transformer’ signalled the moment in which ‘\u003cs\u003eGlam\u003c\/s\u003e Rock’ became ‘Gloom Rock’, when the glitter of sequins dulled and the spectacle of the rock opera became shrouded in introspection. Far from the glam hedonism of Los Angeles and the Sunset Strip, Reed was a quintessential New Yorker who forged a sound that felt like the Big Apple itself, nocturnal, confrontational and effortlessly cool. Romeo deftly highlights this with his incisive wordplay by scratching out the letters ‘LA’. \u003ci\u003eGloom Rock \u003c\/i\u003ereframes Lou Reed as the hinge between the flamboyant glam of the early 1970s and the tonal shift towards the sharper, gloomier style he pioneered, paving the way for the raw nihilism of punk and the tortured abrasiveness of grunge. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\" lang=\"EN-AU\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"UZ-CYR\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Revved up on a nihilistic love of fast cars and furious guitars, Romeo’s grease hound skeleton gazes at an unseen lunar force beyond the pictorial plane, ensnared by the power of the moon to relive his glory days as a bad boy troubadour beyond the grave. In a previous life, the rockabilly skeleton was a hard-rocking heartthrob who rivalled Elvis in his ability to make girls swoon with his signature ‘\u003cs\u003ecroon\u003c\/s\u003e stare’. Now re-animated by mystical lunar alchemy, Romeo’s crooning cadaver is locked in an ongoing ‘Moon Stare’, as he sets about reclaiming the dance floors and dive bars he once reigned over with his ridiculously tall quiff. Undead and unafraid, the skeleton has taken the opportunity to rock on into the afterlife with ghoulish gusto as he unapologetically takes up space both on the canvas and the moonlit graveyards he and his fellow weirdoes now call their stage.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

You need to slay. In \u003ci\u003eSlay Alive, \u003c\/i\u003eJohnny Romeo brings this sentiment to life with his signature collision of bold comic book imagery, explosive colour fields and anthemic wordplay, as he re-casts Bat Girl into a high-voltage symbol of female empowerment. Gotham City’s nocturnal heroine is bathed in iridescent, midnight hues, her figure glowing against the dark as she looks out beyond the edges of the canvas, her gaze a mixture of quiet confidence and stoic defiance. Caught in a charged moment of awakening, Bat Girl refuses to simply exist as a sidekick, but actively wants to thrive, to live life on her own terms and fully live up to her potential as a woman and a superhero.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eRomeo drives home this message with the glitter-ball punch of the word assemblage ‘\u003cs\u003eStay \u003c\/s\u003eSlay Alive’, a cheeky play on the Bee Gee’s 1977 dancefloor classic ‘Stayin’ Alive’ that subverts the groovy bravado of the original song into a declaration of female empowerment. The shift from ‘\u003cs\u003eStay \u003c\/s\u003eAlive’ to ‘Slay Alive’ is subtle but crucial, as Bat Girl transitions from barely scraping by to living her life with unapologetic drive and confidence. Within Romeo’s broader \u003ci\u003eSpace Invaders\u003c\/i\u003e universe, Bat Girl forms a visual dialogue with the Wonder Woman in \u003ci\u003eGet Busy\u003c\/i\u003e. Her leftward-tilted gaze operates as a counterpoint to Wonder Woman’s opposing stance, the two heroines bookending the series in a shared force field of strength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Romeo’s disconcerting rendition of the beloved Mexican artist captures her in a state of metamorphosis, her outer face peeling off and hovering in the ether, revealing her once concealed face underneath. Bristling with kaleidoscopic, hallucinatory colours, the work explores the interior landscape of dreams and how they offer us a portal through which to confront our innermost fears, doubts and aspirations. Through this psychic unravelling, Kahlo has transitioned from her ‘\u003cs\u003eFace\u003c\/s\u003e Age’ into her ‘Space Age’, dropping her guard as her mask slips off to expose the space between her identities, between her outward façade and the inner truths she has kept hidden. \u003ci\u003eSpace Age \u003c\/i\u003eplays on the visual and psychological tension of Surrealism, combining unsettling imagery ripped from sci-fi thrillers such as ‘Event Horizon’ (1997) and ‘Total Recall’ (1990) with trippy, otherworldly colours to transform Frida Kahlo’s soul-baring self-mythology into a Surrealist Pop fever dream. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

The care-free geisha has complete mastery of her craft, staring confidently into the distance as she bends confidently on her board, breezily bridging the gap between ancient Japanese cultural practice, sun-drenched skate kids and beat-loving hip hop emcees.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Through a ‘\u003ci\u003eself-made’\u003c\/i\u003e optical illusion, Romeo’s hallucinatory cat has found a way to take up space, not through scale, but through replication, a cheeky rebellion against the ennui of suburban confinement. Perception blurs and logic loosens as the painting plays with our sense of reality, pulling the viewer into a playful vertigo through its fever dream use of fiery, psychedelic hues and the double cat’s triple-eyed stare. For Romeo, what began as the disorienting, looped vision of ‘Go \u003cs\u003eHazy\u003c\/s\u003e’ becomes an open invitation to ‘Go Crazy’ and gleefully abandon reason in favour of instinct. Cleverly balancing the familiar cuteness of the housecat with the smudged vision of a trippy reverie, Romeo’s fantastical feline is a kaleidoscope of fur and mischief that urges us to get wild, to be irrational, and allow the mind to stretch beyond the usual edges of everyday existence. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Armed with his trusty Cosmic Board, the Silver Surfer has left behind the star fields he once surfed in search of the ultimate thrill – the ‘Great Wave off Kanagawa’ (1831). In a poetic collision of sci-fi, myth and motion, Romeo transforms his silvery ‘Dream \u003cs\u003eSpacer\u003c\/s\u003e’ into a barrel-shredding ‘Dream Chaser’ living out his dream of conquering the iconic crest of Hokusai’s Great Wave. Within the context of the painting, Hokusai’s wave, formerly a symbol for the all-consuming power of nature, becomes a launch-pad for the Silver Surfer to propel himself from earthly ambition to cosmic transcendence. Shining above the violent churn of the wave below him, Romeo’s Nebula rider is the living embodiment of an \u003ci\u003eAir Glider, \u003c\/i\u003eharnessing the energy of the universe itself without the need for an engine to confidently carve through the heavens with absolute freedom.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"PT\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Part hip hop Hype Man, part dreamworld conjurer, Romeo’s neon-drenched Dali cuts an imposing figure with his all-embracing pose, unapologetically taking up space in the pictorial plane as he holds the cosmos within his outstretched hands, reshaping our perception of reality at will. An incandescent moon with an all-seeing eye loom ominously in the background, highlighting Dali’s fascination with the topography of the subconscious and his uncanny ability to shift between ordinary life and the realm of boundless creativity. In this light, Dali is a living embodiment of the threshold between the conscious, subconscious and the dreamworld, a figure who does not simply paint new ideas but steps inside them with ‘full flair’, blazing a path beyond the map, beyond the frame, and into the infinite theatre of the imagination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Helvetica;\" lang=\"UZ-CYR\"\u003eJohnny Romeo Bio:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003eJohnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter, widely regarded as Australia’s leading Pop artist. As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

Savage’s slick space suit is emblazoned with a prominent American ‘A’, pointing both to his humble origins as an ‘ape’, and his newfound ambitions as an astronaut taking on the heavens. The jungle is no longer enough for Savage the Ape, who has ‘levelled up’\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003einto a galactic glam rocker whose face is emblazoned with the iconic starburst make-up of KISS’ Ace Frehley. Outerspace for Romeo’s celestial chimp is not just the final frontier of discovery, but the ultimate stage for him to ascend, to go where all the rock stars go and live out his cosmic rock opera dreams. Savage is bathed in darkness, the moon looming heavily above him, eclipsing his face in dark shadows that recall the moody, archival footage of the Apollo Moon Landings. Poised between instinct and infinity, Romeo’s simian space voyager has fully realized his vision of the ‘great \u003cs\u003eescape\u003c\/s\u003e’, leaving behind his jungle home on Earth to become ‘Savage the Great Ape’.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.

As a seminal figure in the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement, Romeo fuses the irreverent swagger of rock’n’roll with the visual semiotics of comic books and the raw immediacy of street art. GQ Magazine Australia aptly described his aesthetic as ‘part punk, part pop’, a stylistic hybrid that defines Romeo’s vivid, neon-drenched works and its balance of candy colour explosions and punchy, rebellious imagery. Romeo’s signature Kitsch Pop paintings are electrifying visual assemblages, combining Technicolour palettes and urban iconography to produce a visceral, high-octane art experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Helvetica; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWith sharp wit and a keen eye for social critique, Romeo is a trailblazing culture jammer in the international art scene. His work explores the construction of identity within contemporary culture, examining the pressures of life in the digital age and the omnipresent influence of celebrity figures, ever-changing social trends and the 24-hour news cycle. Through his bold, graphic compositions, Romeo reframes the relentless stream of popular media, transforming familiar visual tropes into biting, ironic reflections of our image-saturated world. Standing at the crossroads of Pop and protest, Romeo’s paintings are playful and subversive, repurposing the visual language of Pop culture, advertising, music, comic book nostalgia and silver screen entertainment to comment on the absurdities of modern life. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\" class=\"BodyA\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eOver the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003ecritically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\" lang=\"PT\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Helvetica; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAustralia, New Zealand and the US.
