ROA - Stolenspace - September 2018, by k2 on Aug 14, 2018 11:21:56 GMT 1, I'm not surprised this hasn't been mentioned on here yet as there won't be a print to flip or argue about, but personally I'm very excited for this one. Having been lucky to travel to a number of his shows, the Stolenspace installations are still up there with the best. Looking forward to seeing what he does this time around.
Details below:
It is with great excitement that StolenSpace Gallery presents the new solo showcase by Belgian artist, ROA.
Peering from secluded alleyways, or creeping across crumbing walls, ROAโs monochromatic beasts can be found hiding across the cities of t he world, from London, Berlin to New York, Los Angeles and recently Casablanca and Cape Town. ROAโs reputation as a master muralist has grown exponentially, and his gallery works are no less impressive to behold.
Portraying animals on a massive scale and in stark contrast to their urban surroundings, their black and white appearance giving them a ghostlike presence. ROAโs intention is to query the relationship between man and animal, the urban relationship with nature and the manner in which we force it to adapt for survival, choosing remote and derelict locations to mirror our own unsympathetic treatment of the natural world and the creatures which inhabit it.
Now returning to StolenSpace for his third takeover of the gallery, ROA will be creating on site a fresh cohort of Bestia Animalibus, using reclaimed materials to create multi-dimensional, interactive works of art to beautifully illustrate the precarious connection between man and beast.

ROA - Stolenspace - September 2018, by k2 on Sept 12, 2018 15:38:04 GMT 1, Just updating this post to confirm that the opening has been pushed back by a week. Fairly typical action from ROA, missing every possible deadline...

Quite a few locals would take the ROAโs opening over CHโs one hands down... (funnily enough I was discussing exactly this with some friends last week) but obviously it might just be the taste of the ones I hang out with.

ROA - Stolenspace - September 2018, by Dahmer on Sept 21, 2018 8:40:04 GMT 1, We swung by last night after the Skeleton Cardboard show at bsmt space (which is good, go see it), the Roa show was relatively quiet compared to usual stolenspace standard which was weird...
i would recommend anyone who is a fan in london to go see it, it really is pretty special, to be able to play around with the cabinets and move things around, its a little bit more interesting than just paint on a canvas. Spoke to Roa for a while too about his work and he is genuinely a very nice, happy chap, might of even got a little drawing from him too...
must see show

ROA - Stolenspace - September 2018, by Dibbs 45 on Sept 26, 2018 17:20:33 GMT 1, Went to the preview and indeed wasnโt full by any means. It was a shame there were no sketches or smaller works. Most works were on mixed wood and large. And very nice. ยฃ22k average price. I liked the interactive element and the paint was still wet on some.
It didnโt help there were road works outside. Good show but there last ROA show had a little more to offer. You cannot argue with ROA skill and artistic ability.
Beautiful if you have the means and space to hang.
