ROA

The Roa crane on Hanbury Street.

            Roa is a Belgian Street artist from Ghent, he is renowned for his big animals, painted in black and white. His work has permission and it is usually done on abandoned buildings, warehouses and unrecognised corners.

In the 17th page of my sketchbook I copied to images of this artist.
Roa’s animals have such detail and he paints with normal paint and pencils, and he makes the white background first and then draw the details with the black.

In the picture above you can see a crane (bird), this giant crane is on Hanbury Street. You can see the detail of the wings and the legs. He is an amazing artist an amazing drawer, sometimes controversy by the macabre animals, like in the pictures on the left, when you can see the bowels and the skeleton, and this pictures are  a good example of how some of this artist’s work is interactive, as you can see when the windows are closed the animal is normal, but when you open the windows you can see insides the animal.
