Du 4 au 28 février 2010.
Roa ouvre la porte d'une dimension parallèle en replaçant au cœur des villes les animaux d'errance tels que le corbeau, le sanglier ou le rat qui vivent à proximité des humains, dans une relative entente. Il les dépeints dans des positions statiques, d'attente ou de sommeil avec un réalisme inquiétant en noir et blanc.
Roa aborde sa peinture de façon différente, selon qu'il soit en friche, en ville, ou en galerie, et développe de plus en plus des effets d'anamorphose, également dans un but contextuel. Après un passage remarqué dans les rues de New-York, de Londres, de Berlin et de Varsovie en 2009, Roa prend désormais possession de Paris.

Clever use of the building to show the cross-section of the manatee. From the other angle you can't see that and it looks complete

Solo Exhibition at Pure Evil Gallery 8th APRIL – 2nd MAY 2010
ROA’s eagerly anticipated UK solo debut opens in London this spring to exhibit his unique portrayal of large scale urban wildlife, disquietly cohabiting city streets, hand painted in his distinctive black and white style.
ROA started painting abandoned buildings and warehouses in the isolated industrial outskirts of his hometown – Ghent, Belgium. Fixating on the animals he found there; the wildlife became the central subject matter of his work, inspired by their clever ability to adapt into scavengers in order to survive. He used the dilapidated, coarse interiors and exteriors of the unyielding landscape as a canvas to portray his large-scale creatures.
Roa filled a vast abandoned warehouse complex of different chambers and exteriors with a menagerie of large-scale animals, creating an impressive spray painted zoo of city scavengers.
His obsession went global when he took to the streets of New York, London, Berlin, Warsaw and Paris, prolifically painting his trademark cross sectioned animals wherever he went, locating them where they naturally invade the main city streets with their quiet yet powerful presence.
Pure Evil Gallery is proud and extremely excited to present a new body of original artwork by ROA this spring, complete with street works in the local area. Look out for a new ROA city fox appearing on a street near you.
