Roa 🇧🇪 Street Artist • Animals & Birds • Art For Sale, by sanssouci on Oct 7, 2017 20:56:11 GMT 1, Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I contacted the gallery before the opening but without any success.
They put my name on the waiting list because of the high demand.

Some pictures from the opening below. 

An enjoyable evening, although the show was possibly a bit sparse. The centrepiece was a circular 'room' with a large mural painted on the inside - I tried to capture a panorama shot. I think there were 7 new large pieces on show, and an additional 'work in progress' piece - quite an interesting glimpse at the process. It's fair to say the prices were high (and 'on request', not shown alongside the pieces). Some were over 30,000 Euros which was quite surprising, but 4 were sold within the first hour so can't have put everyone off.

Some of the pieces were frankly incredible. But a couple of them seemed fairly rushed or unfinished and left me slightly cold. 

The gallery owner told me he is buying up ROA stock from wherever he can find it - he's bought 6 pieces from a gallery in LA and is in the process of shipping them over, and seemed to have bought all the unsold works from ROA's last show at Backwoods. He showed me a room out the back of the gallery which had all the Backwoods pieces, still in the Backwoods frames. So presumably he'll be adding to the exhibition over time, but with work that's already been shown, but at newly inflated prices......
