Street artist Mateus Bailon and Sliks (covered here) have recently painted a large wall at the end of Hanbury Street off of Brick Lane in London. Both artists formerly visited London in 2013, and they created some work. Bailon typically paints birds, using black outlines and bright colours. Sliks paints images or patterns with different colours of lines. The wall painted has been a busy street art wall for the past few months, and Bailon and Sliks (with some help from JimmyC) managed to transform it into one large mural. The name of the mural is "Spring Offering".
The mural features a human-like figure handing out apples to birds. There are various cherry blossom trees in the mural, and these were painted by JimmyC using his 'dot' technique. I've included some different angles of the mural below.
The artists painted over the different face masks that were pasted onto the wall by Gregos earlier this year. I've coverd these in my post Gregos Adds New Face Masks to London Walls.
At the end of last year, Bailon was also in London and he painted a wall off of Great Eastern Street, which I'll include here.
A few buildings away, he also painted a shutter. This was a collaboration piece with Sonar Uno and Zadok.
Perhaps we will be seeing some new artwork from these artists over the coming weeks.
