He approached Sydney’s iconic Darlo Bar with the idea and on May 14th will showcase his paintings in their hotel rooms to,  “pay homage to how the work was created.” Seven art deco hotel rooms will be adorned with his looming poster-sized prints, each connected to the real people who will be performing scenes in each room. Come from 6.30pm for nice drinkees and feet-tapping tunes.
