Geelong Gallery

Geelong Gallery, one of Australia's oldest regional galleries, held the first comprehensive examination of one of its indigenous talents, globally acclaimed and Melbourne-based street artist RONE, in 2021. RONE at Geelong saw the artist convert a room within Geelong Gallery in reaction to the architecture and history of the building, as well as the gallery's collection, as well as documenting his practice from early stencil works to the entire makeover of abandoned spaces. Geelong Gallery has consistently sponsored contemporary art and artists throughout its 125-year history.

"There is a tremendous sense of satisfaction in honoring Tyrone (RONE) and his accomplishments over the previous 20 years", says gallery director Jason Smith. "Artists influence their colleagues as well as future generations of artists". It's also a source of immense pride for RONE. It's always this institutional emblem, a level of art that, even as a creative person, felt so far away. People have been able to rethink and interpret the clean area thanks to the Gallery.
