Street artist Fanakapan is known for his chrome balloon style of street art that he has been perfecting over the past few years. I've only just discovered his "Up Yours" mural tucked inside a courtyard of flats off of Henage Street, which is one of the roads that crosses Brick Lane. The mural is a large-scale one covering a three-storey section of wall in the inner courtyard. It has been inspired by the Disney Pixar film "Up" and features one of the main characters holding the balloons.
The little courtyard appears tucked between other buildings, and it almost appears like the little house between the massive walls in the film. The mural was painted ahead of an exhibition at the gallery here in the summer of 2018.
