Roa, who visited the British capital again for his *Hypnagogia* show at Stolenspace Gallery, created in that way a new pilgrim shrine for new and old fans of his renown portrayals of large scale urban wildlife, hand painted in his distinctive black and white style. After spending several weeks [in Australia](/roa-western-australia/), this new Roa hedgehog is the first mural he painted in Europe for a long time and I’m pretty sure it will be a good reason for all the Olympics tourists to visit Shoreditch... *Roa is an artist deeply preoccupied with the significance of the creative process. Working conceptually on each project, he nurtures a dynamic energy which evolves during the restricted time-frame. His method is consistent. Arriving in a location he adapts to his habitat, allowing inspiration to flood from buildings and objects and literally 'waking up' to the realities surrounding him. Foraging for the recycled found-objects he seeks becomes a harder task in London, adding a new dimension and highlighting physical process and interaction in this completed body of work.* ([stolenspace.com](http://www.stolenspace.com)) ![Roa Hedgehog]() Roa Hedgehog Via [graffart.eu](http://graffart.eu/blog/2012/04/roa-new-mural-in-east-london/) and [hookedblog.co.uk](http://www.hookedblog.co.uk/2012/04/roas-new-london-hedgehog-mural.html).
