Roa is so prolific on the streets of London that you would be forgiven for thinking he lives here. In fact he lives in Ghent, which is in the Flemish region of Belgium. His work really speaks for itself, so I will spare you a lengthly eulogy. His show at Pure Evil last month was great, but to really experience the full force of Roa’s work, you need to see it in the street. My favourite at the moment is the one on Hanbury Street, on the way to the Atlantis art supplies shop. The scale and intensity of his work is amazing.
