UK - Street Art London - Roa Piglet

Roa is a Belgian street artist renowned for his giant black and white animals which can be found on walls and shutters in varying states of decay. This is a new piece made in March 2012 of a piglet with flayed skin, and the first time use of colour has been seeen in his work in London. There are also a few Rats and Birds which reside on shop shutters along Brick Lane.

Street art in the East End of London is an ever changing visual enigma, as the artworks constantly change, as councils clean some walls or new works go up in place of others. While some consider this vandalism or graffiti, these artworks are very popular among local people and visitors alike, as a sense of poignancy remains in the work, many of which have subtle messages.
