On March 8th Muk Muk Fine Art Gallery opened its first exhibition for 2012.
“Cop Killer”, an exhibition by young Sydney pop artist Johnny Romeo challenges the classic perception of an iconic Australian folk hero - Ned Kelly.
Part street artist, part graffiti artist, part pop artist, Johnny’s roots are intrinsically linked to the street art scene of Sydney’s inner west in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
Johnny uses the genre of pop art to make bold claims and assertions about Australia’s history and consequently about both our present and our future.
The exhibition then travelled to Darwin where it was exhibited at The Vault Gallery, 51 Smith St.
