In this exhibition at Switchback Gallery curated by Rodney Forbes, Rona Green has created 12 Crack Men gleaning inspiration from fascinations such as Egyptian art, science fiction, B-grade movies, action heroes, military history, conspiracy theories, subcultures, secret societies and extraordinary animals.
This special unit of blokes originated from an amalgamation of the real and imagined. The character studies produced by Green as drawings in pencil and ink on paper incorporate a collage of references alluding to esoteric knowledge and covert undertakings – the cloak and dagger world of 12 Crack Men.
Rona Green is currently undertaking a Master of Fine Arts at the Gippsland Centre for Art & Design, Monash University. For a PDF invitation, click here (310kb).
