Last November, I had a street art tour of Penge, and one of the newest murals on the street was this collaboration "Neighbourhood Watch" by Fanakapan and Nerone. The artwork covers the side of a residential home not far from the High Street. (Unfortunately, a car had parked in front of it, but let's ignore that as much as we can...it does detract from the wonderful artwork.) Fanakapan has been painting across London for the past decade and has perfected the chrome balloon style, which is what he is now known for. Nerone is known primarily for painting floral scenes with a bit of a "party" vibe. Both styles have blended together.
Fanakapan uses his party smiley balloons and has even used a window in the existing architecture of the building for an eye and has even painted a window onto the building.
A close-up of Nerone's portion of wall is seen above so you can see a bit clearly the style and the drip-effect of the flowers, which has been slightly hidden from view due to the car.
