Sinopsis

"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 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.

Acerca del autor

ROA is the pseudonym of an anonymous, contemporary street art artist from Ghent. His works have been applied to buildings in various cities in Europe, the United States, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. He regularly participates in street art festivals and from time to time collaborates with galleries worldwide. ROA can also be viewed on 'Magic City: The Art of The Street', an itinerant exhibition with forty renowned street art artists, including Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Blek le Rat, Faith47 and Ron English. With essays from art critic Lucy Lippard and Johan Braeckman, a professor of philosophy at the University of Ghent.

De la contraportada

Going from continent to continent, this book looks at the colossal, monochrome animal murals that have earned ROA worldwide fame. Like a contemporary animalier, ROA depicts his characteristic animals sometimes using dynamic compositions, sometimes still lifes of several motionless animals stacked on top of each other, with humans seemingly looking on alienated.

ROA paints a haunting picture of the fate befalling many animals, but his 'pieces' are also an ode to the animal kingdom. His many travels gave him the opportunity to study the local animal species, and the expertise he thus gained shines through his work.

With its more than 300 images and text contributions by, among others, American art critic Lucy Lippard and artist Robert Williams, ROA - CODEX offers a unique reflection on the last ten years of this nomad artist's work.
