Zero Cool Gallery presents RONE and Tom FrenchApril 11th, 2012Zero Cool Gallery definitely has a taste for Australian talent and it seems that they’re not slowing down. Having previously presented shows by Meggs, Ben Frost and Numskull, this month Zero Cool London are showcasing one of Australia’s most exciting artists, Rone (alongside Tom French). More details below. Zero Cool Gallery presents RONE (AUS) & Tom French (UK) ‘Don’t Look Back’ Joint London Exhibition RBHQ, 155-171 Tooley St 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.
