Untitled 2

The rain just wouldn’t stop in London this week- I thought I was going to be leaving here with a half finished wall

I spent half my time in London, just off brick lane standing in this spot waiting for gaps in the clouds to finish this wall.

It all came together in the end:

Don’t look back – April 26 – London

I’m very happy to announce that i’m heading to London next month for a show with Zero Cool Gallery:

———–

Zero Cool Gallery presents

RONE (AUS) & Tom French (UK)

‘Don’t Look Back’

Joint London Exhibition

Preview: 6:30pm – 9:30pm, 26th April 2012

Open: April 27th – May 1st 2012

RBHQ, 155-171 Tooley St

London Bridge, London

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.

Hawai’i

So here’s what I got up to in Hawai’i as part of POWWOW.

I found my self a wall that no one really wanted to paint because it had too many doors/signs an windows. P2155642.jpg

Originally I was going to do a tall portrait at the corner I couldn’t reach high enough to make it work so I thought I would go with this lying down idea.

But I ran into a number of challenges with this.

First I couldn’t project to mark up the wall because it had too many street lights around at night, so I had to sketch it all up using the grid method which was painful but I learned a few new tricks from it.

Secondly there was no way I could of painted this without help. so from day 1 I had a powwow volunteer (Kamaka) fill in all the colour for me. It still took 4 days to complete.

P2175697.jpg

This was also the first time I had painted this face so I didn’t know it so well, and I haven’t painted much clothing or fruit either…

but some how it all worked out…
