PUSSY RIOT
New Paintings
On Friday 7th March Muk Muk Fine Art welcomes back to the Territory internationally acclaimed Neo-Expressionist Pop artist Johnny Romeo.
In his breathtaking latest series, “Pussy Riot”, Johnny Romeo pays homage to the rebellious spirit of Pussy Riot. A coruscating collision of comic book femme fatales, explosive colour arrangements and riotous energy, Romeo drags the audience kicking and screaming into an exhilarating and disorienting maelstrom of garish hues and punk-rock mayhem. Sensual and unrelenting in equal measure, “Pussy Riot” perfectly captures the indomitable spirit of rebellion in all its glory.
With Johnny Romeo in attendance, “Pussy Riot” opens at 6pm on Friday 7th March at Muk Muk Fine Art, 14 Lindsay Ave, Alice Springs. The exhibition will run until 3rd April where it will travel to Darwin to be exhibited.

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.
