To celebrate his thrilling new Sydney exhibition, Paradise Found, Australia’s premiere Pop powerhouse Johnny Romeo is launching an exclusive, limited-edition print alongside his explosive series of new original paintings. Heat Wave is a vibrant slice of oceanic Surrealism that masterfully blends the emotionally charged Pop Art of Roy Lichtenstein with a mind-bending Surrealist sensibility. The print updates Roy Lichtenstein’s tortured ‘Drowning Girl’ (1963) for the Feminist MeToo age, as Romeo transforms her from a tear-stricken girl engulfed by her emotions into a confident scuba diver navigating the tempestuous waters of life. While the ‘chaos curves’ of the Technicolour tide swirl around her, Romeo’s scuba girl looks resolutely towards the audience, defiantly rising from the murky depths as an empowered figure using her trusty scuba mask to resist the watery confines that seek to contain her. Romeo’s lush blues, glimmering greens and pelagic purples surge from the print with the breathtaking force of a ‘Deep Wave’, lending the work a dreamlike quality that mirrors the scuba girl’s fearless plunge into the depths of self-discovery. Ending on a summery note, Romeo pays homage to the scorching sun of Sydney in December through the title Heat Wave, the perfect time to take a dive into the deep.

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.
