Fascinated by nature, the anonymous muralist and street artist ROA is inspired by the beauty of its non-human inhabitants. With great attention to detail, ROA draws over-sized black and white creatures of endemic or endangered species on buildings around the world, from Moscow to Mexico City, and from Los Angeles to London. His subjects are frequently survivors; scavengers, rodents, and unusual animals that thrive in their particular milieu.

With essays from art critic Lucy Lippard and Johan Braeckman, a professor of philosophy at the University of Ghent.

Industry Reviews

"Although the street art is generally conveyed in a very natural matter, even his dead animal paintings seem at peace."
Streetartbio.com

"Detached from the artist's identity, his detailed, illustrative animal paintings have brought him back to the world. With local species of animals as his main focus, ROA inevitably starts a dialogue about human interaction with nature and the environment, whether it is painting on the walls of a museum or in an abandoned rural factory."
Hi Fructose - The New Contemporary Magazine

"One of the most influential acts of street art around the world."
The Huffington Post
