Created in 2011 for the "Transit" exhibition organized by Skalitzers Contemporary Art, "Nature Morte" is one of the most provocative and recognizable murals in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Located at the corner of Oranienstraße and Manteuffelstraße, the piece is a quintessential work by the Belgian artist ROA. Rendered almost entirely in black and white using spray cans, the mural has become a dark landmark of the district, known for its raw, anatomical intensity and its stark contrast to the surrounding urban life. The title, which translates to "Still Life," depicts a haunting scene of fallen wildlife. A rabbit, a stork, and a roebuck are shown hanging by ropes from the roof, while a dead bull lies atop a wild boar at the base of the wall. These partially injured and lifeless carcasses are a trademark of ROA’s style, reflecting his lifelong fascination with animal anatomy. The artist deliberately chooses to portray species native to the region where he paints, grounding his surreal and often unsettling imagery in the local natural history of the area. ROA’s work serves as a silent, monochromatic commentary on the relationship between the natural world and the urban environment. by bringing highly detailed, oversized representations of death into the public sphere, he forces a confrontation with the cycle of life that is usually sanitized or hidden in modern cities. Despite its grim subject matter, the technical precision and emotional gravity of "Nature Morte" have earned it international acclaim, cementing its status as a permanent fixture of Berlin’s gritty, counter-cultural identity.
