Although macabre in subject matter, there is a gentle push for us to reconnect with nature embedded in ROA’s artwork. Mostly using animals native to the walls he paints, the Belgian artist combines three stages of what a living body goes through in the biological cycle during life, death and after-life. With his signature style and detailed black linework, ROA’s larger than life animals occupy walls around the globe and are easily recognisable, despite the anonymity of ROA himself.
At the time, this piece from 2010 was ROA’s most detailed mural to date.
