The contours of female faces painted on the walls of buildings from the Australian street artist Rone seem to remember life. They are strong and fragile faces at the same time. With expressive eyes that shine alongside other graffiti or on the cracks of bare walls of decaying suburbs or anonymous buildings.

Beauty and decay, these are the issues of Tyrone Wright aka Rone works, Australian street artists of the Everfresh Studios.
Not any beauty but the female beauty, able to dig up a place where before there was already something. In this way doesn’t become just a research for sensual and graceful lines, but a subversive work, able to overturn the perception of a space.
Or in some cases even political, like the murals created in Penang, Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim country. Or in Mexico in a place known for the brutal killings of women.

The portraits capture a moment of absolute beauty, transitional as the work he created. How as if this was an ongoing challenge against time, or of a moment of absolute awareness, fixed on the wall and ready to disappear.

“Nothing lasts forever, it doesn’t matter how beautiful it is.”
