Johnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter. Considered Australia’s leading Pop artist, Romeo is spearheading the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement with his electrifying collision of rock’n’roll swagger, comic book aesthetics and street art. Described by GQ Magazine Australia as ‘part punk, part pop’, his works are explosive sugar rushes of Technicolour imagery and urban grittiness.
Armed with tongue-in-cheek humour and sharp social commentary, Johnny Romeo explores how the idolisation of celebrity icons and brand-name heroes influences our contemporary identity. His works emulate television by holding up a mirror to society, seeking to make sense of the cacophony of kitschy imagery that we are bombarded with in our Pop-obsessed culture.
Over the last decade, Johnny Romeo has had a successive number of critically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across Australia and New Zealand. 2016 has seen Romeo continue this hot streak, with a well publicised sell-out exhibition in Perth. A major force in contemporary Australian art, Romeo is represented by many of the country’s top galleries.
Romeo has graced prominent publications such as the Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue, the Australian Art Review and Artist Profile. Television features include the ABC 7:30 Report, Foxtel arts channel STVDIO, and the documentary ‘Conquest Of Space: Science Fiction & Contemporary Art’, written and hosted by renowned art critic Dr. Andrew Frost.
On the international stage, Johnny Romeo has generated massive buzz, with hugely celebrated exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania and Florida. He has also been invited to participate in several high-profile group shows across the US and Europe, including Language Art, alongside childhood hero and Pop Art icon Robert Indiana. 2015 saw Romeo make standout appearances on US national television and Pennsylvanian universities as part of his acclaimed exhibition and book launch, TV Land.
As one of the most exciting names in Pop art today, Romeo’s works are highly sought-after the world over, and held in prominent public and private collections in Australia and overseas. He has embarked on many illustrious projects, working with the likes of American punk band Blink 182, Lexus Australia and leading US snowboarding company Gilson Boards.
Johnny Romeo is an internationally acclaimed Australian painter. Considered Australia’s leading Pop artist, Romeo is spearheading the global Neo-Expressionist Pop movement with his electrifying collision of rock’n’roll swagger, comic book aesthetics and street art. Described by GQ Magazine Australia as ‘part punk, part pop’, Romeo’s Kitsch Pop works are explosive sugar rushes of Technicolour imagery and urban grittiness that are turning heads worldwide.
Armed with tongue-in-cheek humour and razor-sharp social commentary, Johnny Romeo is today renowned as a world-leading culture jammer. His works explore the influence celebrity icons and brand-name heroes have on our contemporary identity. Romeo approaches his art-making practice like a television, broadcasting colourful Postmodern visions that re-contextualise and seek to make sense of the daily cacophony of images, ads and memes we are bombarded with in our Pop-obsessed culture.
Over the last decade, Johnny Romeo has enjoyed a successive number of critically acclaimed and sold-out exhibitions across Australia, New Zealand and the US. Romeo has continued his dominance as a world-class Pop artist in 2021 and 2022 with acclaimed and sell-out exhibitions in Sydney, Perth, Auckland, Canberra, Byron Bay and the Gold Coast. In 2018, Romeo notably exhibited at the Australian Consulate-General in New York. He was a highly celebrated feature artist in Brisbane’s Sign of the Times group exhibition, alongside street art juggernauts Banksy, Blek le Rat and Swoon. A major force in contemporary Pop art, Romeo is represented by many top galleries both in Australia and overseas.
Romeo has graced a number of prominent publications such as the Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue, Australian Art Review, Artist Profile and No Cure Magazine. Television features include the ABC 7:30 Report, Foxtel’s STVDIO, and the ABC documentary ‘Conquest of Space: Science Fiction & Contemporary Art’, written and hosted by renowned art critic Dr. Andrew Frost.
On the international stage, Johnny Romeo is a Pop Art tour de force, with hugely celebrated exhibitions in the US, including, New York, Los Angeles, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Williamsport, Harrisburg), Florida and New Orleans, and in Malmö, Sweden. He has participated in several high-profile group shows across the US and Europe, including Language Art, alongside childhood hero and Pop Art icon Robert Indiana. Romeo made a massive splash as a celebrated featured artist in POP AUSTIN 2017, exhibiting with contemporary art powerhouses like Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Mr. Brainwash. Over the past three years, Romeo has made many standout appearances on US national television and universities. Since 2015, he has released three books examining his paintings and art-making practice: TV Land (2015), 10-year retrospective survey Plastic Fantastic (2017) and Pump Up the Jams: Culture Jamming in the Works of Johnny Romeo (2019).
As one of the biggest names in Pop art today, Romeo’s works are highly sought-after globally, and are held in prominent Australian and international public and private collections. He has collaborated on many illustrious projects with the likes of leading US snowboarding company Gilson Boards, craft beer alchemists Zeroday Brewing Company, world-famous punk band Blink 182 and Lexus Australia.

Harvey Galleries was founded by the Harvey family in 1994 with an eye to establish a dynamic and inclusive contemporary art space on the North Shore of Sydney. For almost three decades we have expanded our reach to over three gallery locations and an ever expanding stable of the best artists Australia has to offer.
Harvey Galleries acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which our galleries stand. The Guringai people (Seaforth), the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation (Sydney), and the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation (Melbourne).
We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
Password and the invitation to view will be sent to you as soon as the exhibition preview opens.
Always be the first to know about exhibitions, events and new art releases.
