ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Thinkspace on Oct 29, 2010 9:31:31 GMT 1, ROA is coming!!! by thinkspace_gallery, on Flickr
We're happy to announce that we will be presenting Belgian-born artist ROA's debut west coast solo show coming up on Sat, Nov. 13th. This will be a special pop-up event presented by Thinkspace and taking place at New Puppy Gallery just outside of downtown Los Angeles. ROA has been extremely busy of late having visited New York this past June for a show with Factory Fresh in Brooklyn and traveling all over Europe, the UK and Russia over the past several months. So far this summer he's put up amazing pieces at Nuart (Stavanger, Norway), Infart (Bassano del Grappa, Italy), Critica Urbana (Madrid, Spain), Secret Garden Festival (London, England), Popup! (Ancona, Italy) and Stroke.03 (Berlin, Germany). On top of that he did a special piece while in the UK that ended up on the cover of a recent issue of VNA.
ROA's organic animals, huge both in presentation and reputation, will soon take over the streets of LA as well as the walls of New Puppy Gallery, reminding the city's art lovers that there is indeed nature all around us, even in the middle of the City of Angels. His street work brings to mind the natural world before it was covered in skyscrapers and highways. His stark black and white illustrations are as much home on the walls of galleries as they are on the walls of abandoned factories. As the cities of the world continue to push nature further and further away... and closer and closer to extinction, ROA's work acts as an ardent cry to arms for us all to take action.
ROA's work has been exhibited in London, Berlin, Warsaw, Brooklyn, Amsterdam, and Paris and this show will mark his first solo show on the west coast of the States.

Also be sure to check out a nice set of ROA's work on the streets courtesy of Unurth here: www.unurth.com/index/filter/Roa
More details will be announced soon...
ROA Opening Reception: Sat, Nov. 13th 6PM-Midnight On view: Nov. 13th - Nov. 24th
Taking place at New Puppy Gallery 2808 Elm Street in Los Angeles

ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Thinkspace on Oct 30, 2010 18:18:07 GMT 1, He's just been on a tear across the world I tell ya'. He's out to make this his biggest show yet. The space we have for him is just huge and already set up with proper gallery walls and lighting. He's energized with ideas and I can't wait for him to make it all his own over the next few weeks.
Will post some pics from today's progress later this evening...

ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Thinkspace on Nov 6, 2010 8:01:56 GMT 1, ALL sorts of work coming together for this one... I'll post some shots here early next week to give a taste of what's to come. The week of Nov. 15th ROA will be doing a very, very big wall over the course of a few days. More on that soon...

ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Thinkspace on Nov 10, 2010 5:56:13 GMT 1, Unurth and Dailydujour both coming through on Thursday it looks like (possibly Arrested Motion and Jux too)... so look for some pics surfacing this Friday to give a taste of what to expect this Sat.
I just left the space and all I can say is WOW. When ROA landed in LA he had some big plans and all is really coming together now and his vision is coming to life... the warehouse space is very large and will be filled with numerous wall murals, large stand-alone type work, hanging works on metal, small works on wood and paper, and some surprises. The exhibit will featured a good bit of 'reveal' type flip-open work and some lenticular works as well. He's really outdone himself. Plus a nice life and death cycle mural on the front of the warehouse/gallery space... just so much goodness.
Look for sneak peeks to follow this Fri as he's asked we keep all under wraps until then.
As for the digital sneak preview itself, that will go out early Saturday morning PST. We'll try to get it out sooner, but at this point he's still polishing up all the works - so please know we'll get this out as soon as we can. I can't wait to share these awesome works with everyone, so trust we'll be hustling once all is good to go.
THIS SAT 6PM-Midnight at 2808 Elm Street (corner of Cypress) - easily accessible via the 110 or the 5. Trust me, you don't want to miss this.

ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Passion Art on Nov 14, 2010 20:29:31 GMT 1, The fox on locker doors is phenomenal. I really love ROA's work on the street but does anyone else feel like it may be a little bland for their walls?

ROA "Special Event" in LA, 13th Nov, by Thinkspace on Nov 14, 2010 22:02:40 GMT 1, We'll have a digital link to the remaining works spread later today. All was non-stop right up to we opened the doors to the public. Some very nice works still available.
Kimpsons - I've gotten back to everyone that hit me up at contact@thinkspacegallery.com and contact@sourharvest.com - sorry if I missed your mail. Digital link ready by the end of the day.
Some AMAZING shots already posted of the show over at dailydujour.com - ROA just killed it.
Will post the digital link here once all is ready.

Some lovely pieces. Why not out the prices on? Never understand that. Always makes me assume I cant afford it.

Much much better on the street, but still look great on the wall, imo. I have a small piece, very happy with it. Not bland at all. But, much much better on the street.
