ROA, a photo from Lodzkie, West

Photographer's Note

Mural For Fundacja Urban Forms In Lodz.

ROA (born c. 1976) is a graffiti and street artist from Ghent, Belgium. Internationally, he has created works on the streets of cities across Europe, the United States, Australia, Asia, New Zealand and Africa.

ROA generally paints wild or urban animals and birds that are native to the area being painted.ROA usually uses a minimal color palette, such as black, white, but also creates works using vibrant colours depicting the flesh or internal systems within the animals and birds.

The "Weasels Stealing Eggs" mural in Łódź is a perfect example of an artist carefully fitting an image into the surrounding space and of the use of existing architectural solutions. We can see it at 5 Nowomiejska Street.

Hello Piotr, what a brilliant work of art, the weasel really looks to be resting his feet on the building.
Amazing how a rundown piece of ground has been brought to life with this painting.
Thank you for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Piotr,

The vegetation is bringing a touch of nature to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the mural of the weasel. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Piotr, magnificient artwork linked with wildlife. It depicts weasels stealing eggs. The painting goes well with the shape of the building on the left that looks like a henhouse. It is a clever idea to use the grey instead of the colors for this mural. Fine colors, perfect sharpness, regards.

Hello Piotr,
A good capture of this mural with those large animals. I like the way the interact with the smaller building on the left hand side. Also the green parts look good against the grey wall.

Bonjour, cher Piotr,
Cette fresque murale mettant en vedette la belette est de toute beauté.
L'artiste ne manque pas d'imagination ni de talent.
Etonnant et ravissant.
Amitiés.

Salut Piotr,
Impressive and well made mural, interesting effect with the roof and the animal, perfect sharpness, tfs.

Good morning Piotr,
The painter had emloyed well the empty parts of the grey wall, and used grey colors for its drawing, mingling well onto that wall.
Taken well with fine sharpness from a fair distance.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hello Piotr,
I immediately thought the style of this painting seemed familiar. I checked it up and found I had seen a mural by the same artist in Berlin. https://www.trekearth.com/workshops/1540346/photo212181.htm.
This is probably better than "mine", or placed on a better wall with more space. ROA managed very well to integrate the surroundings in the painting. You used the entire area very nicely. It's a very good photo.
Best regards,
Gert

cześc Piotrze, fantastyczne murale pokazujesz. Od razu sprawdzam w Googlu na mapie. Od podwórka wygląda to szczególnie atrakcyjnie z tym starym domem. Chyba widziałam murale Roa w Dubaju. Dla niego charakterystyczne sa te zwierzaki. Może wyśle Workshop. Marzy mi sie, żeby se z Toba wybrać na zwiedzanmie murali w Łodzi. Zwłaszcza mam na oku Rubinsteina (i rezerwuuje go sobie :)).
A tak poza tym to jestem załamana. Ciekawa jestem kogo masz na mysli pisząc o elektoracie pewnego pana.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie

MAłgorzata

A very clever use of space. The artist has captured the animals and placed them as though in their natural habitat. Thank you for showing it to us.

Hello Piotr,

This is a very exciting piece of art and you have shown so clearly how it fits into the buildings. It appears as if one of the weasels is clambering down the side of the building.

On the one hand, it is good that it can be viewed by many for free; on the other hand, such a wonderful piece of art is at the hands of anything the weather can deliver.

Thank you for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hello Piotr,
It's very popular these days mural on the wall or abandoned building like this one. My opinion I would like to see some colours .....just liven it up a bit - like playing colourful eggs. But it does brings some playful actions to the wall.
Very well seen street arts and the composition is spot on.
Thanks for sharing.
Loong

Ciao Piotr, great view of fantastic murale, wonderful colors, splendid sharpness and fine details, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Piotr,
The weasels stealing eggs seem to do acrobatics at the same time.
Nice how the weasel on the left seems to be standing on the roof of the house (or to jump off).
What a large mural!
Excellent clear and sharp presentation.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Piotr
This urban wall art creation looks like 'a live' show on stage. Quite amazing work by the talented artists judging by the sheer scale. Very well captured makes an intriguing photo no doubt, Excellent shot.

Hello Piotr,
This is a fun work of art in an interesting location. It looks a bit run down, but that just adds to the atmosphere. :-) I think I've seen the work of this artist here in NYC, too. Nice capture.
