ROA Does Joburg

View all 10 Photos

ROA is a talented graffiti artist from Brussels, Belgium. His latest piece has been spotted on this industrial building in Johannesburg. The a lazy production of grand African animals finds their bodies draped with eyes shut tight, worrying about nothing. They relax in complete surrender to the building’s ledges.  His attention to detail is precise.  He captures every wrinkle of the elephant’s leathery skin, every curvature of the giraffe’s gracefully bowed neck.
