Fanakapan has been painting street art in London for quite a while now, and his style has evolved over time from colourful candy creatures to colourful balloons to foil balloons and chrome items. I originally covered the artist's work in my post Street Art: Fanakapan. Past work includes a chrome headphones and mask, a collaboration with Louis Masai with balloon sharks, a chrome frog, foil balloon shapes collaboration with Cranio, more balloons, and balloon elephants. The artist has been recently experimenting with painting glass animals. The new work appears on Pedley Street off of Brick Lane and features, according to the artist's Instagram account, drunken glass elephants.
The elephants are pictured with green-blue marbles, wine glasses, and bottles. The piece was inspired by a video of elephants in the wild who eat fermented fruit and get drunk off of it.
