RONE has been really busy in the past couple of weeks getting ready to head over to London town for a show he has going with Tom French.  We’ve been following a lot of the stuff he’s been preparing on both his blog as well as on instagram, and we’re absolutely loving the colorful work he’s been putting together amongst a mountain of other cool shit.

“April 2012 will see two of the most exciting artist to emerge in recent year’s RONE (AUS) and Tom French (UK) link up to put on a joint show with Zero Cool Gallery.

Rone’s posters are some of the most iconic in Australia, hiding under overpasses throughout Melbourne. He is renowned for the stylised images of ‘girls’ faces – it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he has had more posters in Melbourne’s streets than any other artist in the city’s history.

Tom French progresses his distinctive skull images, with the addition of previously unseen oil paintings, to be shown alongside his characteristic charcoal pieces.  These new works combine photorealism, abstraction and surrealism with a suggestive narrative, treading the fine line between the beautiful and the unsettling, focusing on the reflection of the conscious and subconscious mind.

For catalogue requests or to RSVP please email zerocool@zerocoolgallery.com”

Rone’s work just gets more and more refined – there is such a beautiful aesthetic emerging as he pushes through the envelop, taking his highly recognisable girls down new and exciting directions. We’re fans of Tom Frenchs work as well ,so together you’re in for a treat if you’re in ‘ol Blighty this week. Go see it!
