Street artist Fanakapan is known for his chrome and foil/metallic balloon and smiley street art, and I have a couple of new pieces to share. The first piece appeared at Mornington Crescent last autumn, but it no longer exists. It features a chrome reflective spray paint can with smiley faces. The second piece is a foil balloon with a smiley, and it is located at Hoxton Square. The third piece is located on Star Yard off Brick Lane. Fanakapan had previously painted a collaboration with Cranio at the start of the year (Cranio Returns to London in 2020 and Paints Brick Lane) and on Brick Lane's Star Yard shortly afterwards (Fanakapan Paints PacMan Pizza on Brick Lane and Other Street Art).
I really liked the Mornington Crescent street art as it was a large-scale colourful piece. The last time I visited Cameden was this summer, and the piece had been removed.
The Hoxton Square balloon with a pixelated section was snapped on my last visit to London at the end of September, and it is a collaboration with Chloe, an artist that I have never come across before.
Star Yard is a common place that Fanakapan paints, and this mural is the artist's signature, and it appeared some point this summer but was tagged over when I saw it for the first time.
