ROA – The street art activist.

Roa, a hugely talented Belgian street artist from Ghent, is renowned for his giant black and white animal street art. Roa started off in the street art scene painting animals on abandoned buildings and warehouses in the isolated industrial areas of his hometown. Today, Roa’s animals may be found slumbering on the sides of semi derilict buildings and peering out from shop shutters in citiy streets all accross the world from New York to Berlin and Warsaw to Paris.
The artist has visited London a couple of times, each time leaving his mark. His animals can be seen hibernating across the cracks of walls in Shoreditch and Brick Lane.  The works often take many hours to paint due to the huge scale and highly intricate nature of ROA’s street art. Consequently, most of his pieces are done with permission which means that his work usually sticks around on the street for a while (notwithstanding the efforts of local London Councils).

ORTICANOODLES: God Bless Stencil



Orticanoodles is the pseudonym for two Italian artists, a very active and tight-knit duo, composed of Wally and Alita.

Wally was born in Carrara, where he attended Art School and in 1996 he moved to Milan to attend the course in Advertising Art Direction at IED (European Institute of Design). Here in Milan, he met Alita.  Both in love of the stencil technique, they began to create drawings and handmade posters, quickly making themselves known in the street-art world.

In 2004, they start their first illegal actions in the street, stickering and pasting up posters. In their laboratory, situated in the Ortica district in Milan, Orticanoodles logos took shape. With the subversive power of Zibe, Orticanoodles started a blazing activity in the streets, soon evolving into a real urban guerrilla campaign.

Graffiti is truly a passion for this young artist who often plays with the boundaries of the forbidden. His works from the nineties and so on are often visible in places ‘illegal’. In 1998, the city walls have become exclusive places to let young people express themselves through this new art. It is at this point that he could give free rein to their imagination and develop his style.

Filthy Luker is a painter who is really attacking his audience. Who could think that a green octopus suddenly starts to creep out from the windows, a huge banana rind lounges just in the center of a road and the trees starts to see! 
The painter transform the urban environment making the tortured inhabitants stiffen with astonishment in front of a merrily winking water pipe, a sad TV which was thrown out by its owner or a large-toothed rubbish bin. 
This art is sparkling with humor, recklessness, it shocks you and force to look at the world in a new way.
