ROA (artist)

[7] ROA usually uses a minimal color palette, such as black and white, but also creates works using vibrant colours depicting the flesh or internal systems within the animals and birds.

The technical perfection of his painting belies an underlying resourcefulness with simple tools,” “The animals are matched to their location, with rats in New York City and elephants in Bangkok.

There are dark and funny messages, the beauty of both life and death, universal metaphors, inside jokes, and occasional violence, but always in ways that honor the animals and the spaces where they are painted.

[10] In 2010, ROA painted a large bird on the side of an Indian restaurant at the intersection of Hanbury Street and Brick Lane in Tower Hamlets, London.

[21] ROA painted a robin bird mural at Albert's Garden on Second Street in the East Village of New York City.

[22][23] In October 2014, ROA painted a horned lizard mural on a building in downtown Las Vegas for the Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival.
