Being an international badass must be nice. You wake up, roll out of bed and say, "What country can I vandalize today?" ROA is one such artist. His large scale black and white wildlife depictions are amazingly detailed and visually overwhelming. This guys goes BIG in the truest sense of the word. Originally from Belgium, he has work up all over the planet. Some of is small but most of it is HUGE. Billboard sized decaying animals or 3 story high vutlures. His vision seems dark and obsessive. What are the animals saying to us. What do all the bones and beaks mean? Perhaps he is here to remind us that this world does not belong to us humans. By choosing congested urban areas to put up jaw dropping murals, he drives this point home. BAD ASS! This was spotted in the West Loop.
