Johnny Romeo‘s new show GRINDHOUSE opens @ Porter Contemporary in Chelsea, New York.
February 21st – March 30th, 2013.
Opening Night: Thursday 21st February, 2013 @ 6:30pm – 8:30pm.
GRINDHOUSE, the debut New York show by Johnny Romeo, sees the internationally acclaimed Australian Pop artist in truly incendiary form. A napalm-drenched love letter to grindhouse cinema, the series is a righteously rollicking celebration of all things sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. Drawing on the quirky nihilism of Tarantino and the vicious vixens of classic Russ Meyers, GRINDHOUSE is an explosive exploration of our fascination with death and destruction. Like the schlocky films of its namesake, the series is gleefully irreverent and exhilarating in its seductive, violent energy. With his arsenal of brash, expressive colours, pop-inflected punk grit, and commanding graphic imagery, each work is a visual Molotov cocktail of buxom babes, high-octane cars and skulls that laugh in the face of death.

Hello. I am a bunny that is 1.5 feet tall. I was painted by the artist Johnny Romeo from Sydney Australia. He is going to hide me somewhere in Sydney with tickets to see my parent’s Blink-182. You might want to like him and follow Johnny on Twitter to find out where he is going to put me.

Skull Bunny is an electrifying collaboration between Blink-182, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, and one of Australia’s most exciting and celebrated artists, Johnny Romeo. Rambunctious and irrepressibly energetic, Skull Bunny combines the grittiness and urgency of punk with the exuberant colour and playfulness of pop.
