Why Roa may end up bigger than Banksy, by flypitcher on Nov 7, 2009 21:20:15 GMT 1, He is good, like a fine artist and has found his own niche With the right management he will surely leave the rest in his wake.
Next year believe me will be the year of the Roa in the street art brigades.
Anymore info on this kid appreciated.

Why Roa may end up bigger than Banksy, by Heavyconsumer on Nov 8, 2009 19:07:45 GMT 1, Really liked his stuff on the PA site when I first saw it. Not into the photography medium really in this context, although I don't doubt the photos probably look good (just not really up my alley). The talent is very clearly there - his execution looks incredible imho. I especially like that fish at the top of this page.
However I think comparisons with Banksy are a bit naive and raise the question of how many artists can go from street artist to someone who makes a real impact beyond the genre. In that regard, I don't see any direct comparison of Roa's art. I'm sure there are artists in this forum who can compete in terms of technical ability with Banksy, but as we all know, his art is about so much more than that.

Why Roa may end up bigger than Banksy, by LEVI C on Nov 13, 2009 22:35:40 GMT 1, agree this is verywell exectuted. I also agree with HC in that Banksys stuff is so much more than just execution. It makes no sense to compare a fine artist (that's gone outside) with Banksy a pioneer in the delivery of irony and clever easy to get messages. This is an almost entirely different art form, just put on the street.
If the current street art boom progresses to fine artists sharing their work on the streets then yes this guy could be big, but he'll have a whole lot more competition as there's some incredible fine artists ot there.
If you are determined to compare this to Banksy then it is.........."well drawn animals, some of which have parts in x'ray, some are big".....thats it.
If you think enough people would buy that to make him bigger than Banksy, fair enough, but I think you are wrong. He has found his 'niche' but it's likely to be only that. A successful 'fine' artist would have been a more appropriate comparison.
Defo one to watch either way.
