ROA

It seems as if ROA is on a world wide mission to bring larger than life animal portraits to the street. With an immense body of work all over the globe, he's managed to make the viewer feel small; as though we were the ants and the characters were the dominant species. He utilizes spray paint and rollers in his compositions and the results are the astounding depictions seen in various neighborhoods all over. Hailing from Belgium, ROA has made a name for himself while remaining somewhat of an enigma in the street art realm. It takes tremendous gall to paint giraffes in Brazilian favelas with a straight face.
