Rone (born 1980) is a notable street artist living in Melbourne, Australia.
Rone grew up in the city of Geelong, Victoria before making the move to Melbourne. In 2002, Rone started out decorating skateboards and skate parks. Since then, his work has spread to the streets and inner-city laneways of Melbourne and into some galleries and exhibitions. Rone lives in a small flat so he uses Stencil Art as a creative outlet; in 2003 police caught Civilian and Rone at the Canterbury “Empty Show” (illegal exhibitions held in derelict buildings) although no criminal charges were ever laid. Rone loves skateboarding and works as a graphic designer from the Everfresh studios in Collingwood. On graffiti, Rone says:
"I always had a respect for graffiti. There was something about it that appealed to me, I think it was the risk of putting something up that will be judged by so many, the risk that someone will hate it and paint over it, or it will be praised by someone you’ll never meet."
On the streets, Rone's preferred places to stencil are high traffic areas. Rone often paints in broad daylight. Rone's larger images require much more time to put up, so he uses wheat pasting to do quick paste-ups in busy locations [1]. He likes that paste-ups can be used irrespective of the wall background and the way that aging and deteriorating of the paste-up can lead to striking and unique effects. Rone's main form of stencils are large images of women's faces mostly cropped which tower and look upon people that walk by. Rone's art by rule, does not contain any political messages. He says:
