Rone is an interesting street artist, whom we had the pleasure of talking about here on the occasion of his Omega project. Once again, the artist has returned with Empire, a project that fights decadence, transforming a 1930s Art Deco building that has remained uninhabited for over 20 years, in something new and beautiful.

Rone has repeatedly stated that his intention is to get people into the uninhabited house to be able to ask what happened in the same place before and why it was left in ruins.

Moreover, the concept of abandonment has always intrigued the artist, who this time also used the help of the interior designer Carly Spooner, Kat Snowden, the composer Nick Batterham, the lighting designer John McKissock and the elaborate botanical installations of the Loose Leaf design studio, to offer a complete experience to the spectator, going beyond the definition of street art.

It will be possible to visit the abandoned house on show at the Burnham Beeches villa in Sherbrooke from 6 March to 22 April.
