Joseph Earp is an acclaimed author, painter and poet, whose written work has been published in The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald and more. Fear of Romance is an exhibition of the paintings on which he has forged his name — works that combine dark humour, poetry, and heart. Drawing on influences as varied as David Hockney, Paula Rego and the poet Frank O’Hara, Earp’s work blends text and image into sometimes horrifying, often humane visual experiences.”
