Thanks for the pics of the Vienna show. Liked them even more than the pieces in Berlin.

That fox mural is great. I really enjoy the movement in it. His pieces are usually so taxidermic, this is a nice change.

His pieces are usually so taxidermic, this is a nice change. agreed that this is a pleasant change, and quite dynamic. i'm getting a little bored with the dead animals now. i did think that his site specific murals were quite interesting - the way he incorporated the landscape to create illusion within the piece and also how he painted animals specific to the location. but now it seems that just about any city could get the straight up dead animal treatment. i wonder how many people who don't have more than a passing interest in street art actually engage with the dead and decomposing animal murals in their environment? |

Agree with you there Sven, for me his best pieces are the less macabre ones, i love the bird sketch form his latest show at inop, and wild boar, thought both were great little sketches. That fox piece is (IMO) the best i've seen from him, lets hope it continues along this route, perhaps with some colour!

I think it's nice that he didn't continue his "dead animal run" down there, but maybe was showing more the "positive side" of creating a piece of art that contributes to you everyday surroundings (in a positive way).

ROA will draw on this experience to create his first Australian body of work. Please join us at FORM Gallery with the artist for opening night The exhibition runs from the 22nd October, 2011 until 13th January, 2012.

 the preview for his Australian out, and it looks GREAT!.. it looks like ROA chose to introduce himself to Aussies with his famous bigger installation pieces, mostly showing local animals (Platypus, Quokka, Bilby, Echindna, Possum).. and he did a great job there!.. Im wondering how many things will sale, cause only 6 pieces are smaller, and wont cost a fortune to send them outside Australia.. |

I looked through the preview catalog, and agree, Sal, that the bigger pieces are mouth dropping, but very, very expensive even without shipping. Would love to have one ...

I really like how he brings his animals into a gallery space. It would be great if he put out some screenprints, I think his painting style would translate really well.

The phlegm/roa/robots collab looks like a lot of fun. I'd love to have one of the city cluster collabs they put together. Took this pic over the weekend in Brooklyn. Don't know that i've ever seen a pic of it.  |
