Rone is arguably Australia's preeminent street artist. The softly spoken, humble creative grew up in Geelong Victoria. It was in his early 20s riding his skateboard around Melbourne that he really connected with street art. It was a discovery which steered his life in a completely different direction.
Murals and installation work has taken him around the world, with his smaller scale pieces being shown in galleries in London, Berlin and New York. Domestically, he is one of the few street artists to permeate the barrier of public institutions when the National Gallery of Australia acquired one of his works.
Rone's latest project, TIME at Flinders St Station in Melbourne, is an immersive experience blurring the lines between art exhibition and stage production. I was lucky enough to visit it and showcase it on day 15 of the 30 exhibitions in 30 days challenge.
In today's episode of Interview with an artist we talk about many things including:
how street art in Australia measures up around the world
what's changed in the scene over the last two decades
the logistics and planning behind TIME
and how he prioritises between private commissions and works seen by the public
If you are able to get to TIME at Flinders St Station, I strongly recommend it. Even if not for the art but for the incredible detail in overall execution of the experience. it is a ticketed event so you will have to plan ahead.
