UK - London - Roa's Big Bird street art

The image of the artwork called Big Bird by the Belgian artist Roa is seen on the side of a Balti restaurant in Hanbury Street, off Brick Lane, East London. Painted in 8 hours on the Victorian brick, the work has become a known landmark on this and surrounding streets where little known artists as well as Roa and Banksy have adorned walls and doorways. ROA (born c. 1975) is the pseudonym of an anonymous graffiti artist from Ghent, Belgium who has created works on the streets of cities across Europe and the United States. ROA generally paints wild animals (such as rats) or birds (such as crows) in black and white. In 2010 ROA came to particular notice in the UK when Hackney council threatened to paint over one of his paintings, a 3.5m high rabbit.
