Famous for his sumptuous, photo-realistic murals of beautiful women, Rone's work attempts to locate the friction point between beauty and decay, the lavish and despoiled, creating an iconic form of urban art with a strongly emotional element. Rone's movement toward a more freehand style of practice has enabled a certain amount of openness and looseness to seep into his images, a rawness which can perhaps be seen to have enhanced the affective quality they contained. A key individual in the Melbourne, Australia street art scene, Rone's images have not only appeared all over his city, but also all around the world.
