Johnny
Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian pop painter whose
energetic appropriation of comic book aesthetics and pop culture is
capturing attention worldwide. With GQ Magazine describing his art as
‘part punk, part pop', he draws inspiration from neo-Expressionism,
rock’n’roll, graffiti art and Pop art. Johnny Romeo’s work critiques the
madness of a modern world driven by pervasive advertising, hollow
materialism and wasteful excess, exploring the way in which we construct
our identities through the idolisation of pop culture and brand-name
heroes.
