Over the past couple of years, I took a lot of photographs of street art when I could get into London, but I've not published much of it on this blog. This post covers walls that busy London street artist Fanakapan has painted around east London. The artist is known for specialising in foil balloon street art. I always love finding new work around London.
The first mural is a refresh on a wall that the artist often paints and refreshes after a few months. The wall is located near Hoxton Square and depicts a blue and pink chrome balloon. It was painted earlier this year.
A foil "5" was painted on a wall on Columbia Road, near Ion Square. There was some building work taking place, so I managed to capture a shot of it.
On the wall at Hoxton Square, and earlier piece painted in 2021 was of a very smiley chrome foil balloon. It doesn't exist anymore because this wall was refreshed.
The last mural to show is one that no longer exists, but it was located in Star Yard off Brick Lane. It is a wonderful show of the artist's talent in creating three-dimensional street art on walls that are often not prefectly straight and have imperfections. Behind the three-dimensional tag is a two-dimensional grafitti piece. The skill is in making the artwork pop off the wall whilst not noticing the imperfections of the wall.
