The Skateroom donated $15,000 through this collaboration, in support of Skateistan’s Skate and Create lessons in Phnom Pehn, CambodiaROA has ensured freedom for both his work and his spirit through maintained anonymity.
Very little is known about the artist, and even less is documented, however his strong obsession for animals and rodents is his most recognizable trait. ROA draws inspiration from the native wild life around him to paint his murals at any given location, setting him further apart from his contemporaries.
The Decay series selected for this Collaboration with ROA represents a cornerstone of the artist’s work. Like a modern da Vinci, he explores the anatomy of his creatures as well as the biological process of decomposition.
“Organs are the vital substances of our body and they represent a lot of the symbolism which I like!” – ROA
