Belgium artist ROA is renowned for his unique portrayal of large scale
urban wildlife, disquietly cohabiting city streets, hand painted in his
distinctive black and white style. ROA has become famous from painting
animals on derelict buildings, shutters & walls literally all over
the world. He has also exhibited to much acclaim all over the world and
was also included in the MOCA exhibition 'Art In The Streets' in LA.
For his upcoming show 'Hypnagogia' at Stolen Space the artist will be showing work in 2 spaces, one featuring installation
work & the other originals on found objects. To coincide with this show opening will also be the launch of ROA's first artist book 'Roa: 'An Introduction To Animal Representation' by Mammal Press.

world by 3 recurrent themes of his murals last year; through
photographs, sketches, and reference material. the book offers an

a Bird dissection and lots more...
