On the heels of several events, including the Everfresh @ NGV and Rone and TwoOnes upcoming solo show, it looks like the crew at Metro have drafted in some of the talent for a showcase of live art and painting up in Armadale. Featuring Rone (who we interviewed last week), Reka and TwoOne, it should be a fun afternoon!

“REKA – Reka creates his own world of mysterious creatures that communicate though colour and movement, based around the style of abstracted fantasy and surrealism. Since 2002, Reka has established himself as a pioneer in Melbourne’s burgeoning street art scene that has become a successful exhibitor of his work, both in Melbourne, interstate and overseas.

RONE – His notorious paste-ups have been spread far and wide across high traffic areas of inner city Melbourne, often dominating the environment with their crude graphic approach. The monotone, larger than life female faces bare down upon passers by. Rone chose the street as a canvas in an attempt to continually promote a marked difference of interest in an ever changing background. It is a stark rebuttal against the increase of public advertising propaganda, where little control is held by the general populous.

TWOONE – Drawing and crafting have been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. He gained an early interest in art though skate board graphic and graffiti culture. As soon as TWOONE moved to Melbourne, He quickly became a prominent part of the local street art scene that was rapidly growing at the time. Hiroyasu has been evolved into number of group exhibition, and constant commission mural painting. In 2008 TWOONE became well noticed from “One Thousand can show” that his first solo show with one thousand of individually hand painted Spray cans. Now he is expending his field to painting, Mural painting, sculpture, and live performances to sound installations.
