STREET ART

ROA

Roa, a hugely talented Belgian street artist from Ghent, is renowned for his giant black and white animal street art. Roa started off in the street art scene painting animals on abandoned buildings and warehouses in the isolated industrial areas of his hometown. Today, Roa’s animals may be found slumbering on the sides of semi derelict buildings and on shop shutters in city streets wall across the world from New York to Berlin and Warsaw to Paris and London.

During my trip to east London I saw loads of pieces by Roa , This piece of a bird really stood out to me as he has used stokes to illustrate the feathers , However still making it appear more realistic

In the photograph below Roa has done a design of a pig resting it was done in london below the glass of a tattoo shop . This is a very intresting piece because of the type of animal he has chosen , ‘A Pig’ is a farm animal and not domesticated so it was very perculiar to see one just on the wall.

STINKFISH

Stink fish is an artist from Columbia, he Started graffiti as a teenager and Works with spray paint and on paper, also uses stencils.Works from photos of people he has taken on the street who look interesting or photos he has found like the photo on the left .

This picture caught my eye from the very minute I looked at it. I think the use of many bright colours is meant to have that effect of passer-by’s also the simplicity of the face of the lady also brings out the colours used , it’s important that the colours used don’t clash and Stinkfish has made that of important in this piece.
