Johnny Romeo

POPism: The Andy Warhol Show

New Paintings

On a sunny New York afternoon on June 3, 1968, Valerie Solanas walked into the Factory and opened fire at Warhol. Amidst his screams for her to stop, Solanas fired a second shot. Then a third shot rang.

On June 3, 1968 Andy Warhol survived. But what if Warhol died that day. What if Pop had died that day?

In his electrifying new series POPISM: THE ANDY WARHOL SHOW, internationally acclaimed artist Johnny Romeo re-envisions himself as the contemporary Andy Warhol. The series sees Romeo appropriate some of the Pop Master’s most iconic work, injecting each piece with his own incendiary blend of Neo-expressionist Pop and urban street art. Explosive fields of colour and cascading, stream-of-consciousness text collide with bombastic, graphic renditions of Warhol classics like ‘Mao’ and ‘Marilyn Monroe’. POPISM: THE ANDY WARHOL SHOW is a rambunctious and bona fide statement of Pop’s enduring power from one of the world’s leading Pop artists.

Johnny Romeo: Editions on Paper – Forever Young

‘Forever Young’ is the breathtaking new Editions on Paper show from internationally renowned artist Johnny Romeo. The series is an exhilarating exploration of celebrity fetish and the grim seduction of extinguished youth. Romeo’s adoption of dead Hollywood icons and print media cleverly comments on mass production, media consumption and our fascination with the tragic side of Pop culture.

With his gutsy graphic style and flair for explosive colour arrangements, Johnny Romeo is Australia’s leading Pop artist. Romeo has gained worldwide acclaim for his bombastic fusion of rock’n’roll attitude, street art, Pop culture and Neo-expressionism. Beginning 2013 with a collaboration with popular American punk band Blink 182, this year has seen Romeo move from strength to strength, receiving rave reviews for major shows in New York and Los Angeles, and captivating audiences with sold-out shows in Pennsylvania and Sydney.

EDITIONS ON PAPER: FOREVER YOUNG opens at Jeanie Madsen Gallery, Santa Monica, California, USA on Saturday 5th October 5th, 2013.

Johnny Romeo, I CAN DREAM, I CAN BREATHE, HELTER SKELTER, 2013

Johnny Romeo: I CAN DREAM, I CAN BREATHE, HELTER SKELTER

Johnny Romeo’s I Can Dream, I Can Breathe, Helter Skelter, is a celebration of the restless creative drive to innovate and forever move forward. A special release commissioned by Mission Restaurant, Chippendale, I Can Dream… is a breathtaking triptych spanning 6 metres. Paying homage to his hero Pablo Picasso, these three works showcase Romeo’s exuberant Neo-expressionist Pop style while evoking the spirit of Picasso’s Les Baigneusses (The Bathers) (1918). Brimming with life and urgency, the series bursts at the seams with glorious explosions of colour, humour and a rich, rhythmic linear aesthetic that evokes the ebb and flow of jazz and beat poetry. Romeo conjures the searing moments of clarity amidst the malaise of perpetual motion – dreaming and breathing amidst the helter skelter of modernity.
