Fanakapan
(British, 1980)
Fanakapan is a prolific London-based street/graffiti artist known for creating hyper-realistic visuals of real life objects since the early 2000’s.
Fanakapan’s 3D creations of helium balloon-based reflective subjects will stop you in your tracks. They allow him maximum opportunity to demonstrate his superb freehand skills, using shadow and highlights to make his works pop off the surface.
What stands out most about Fanakapan’s work is that beyond the immediate and overwhelmingly impressive aesthetic dynamic, the pieces usually also allude to larger messages and hint at more acute aspects of Fanakapan’s personality.
Fanakapan has painted worldwide with his highly technical freehand style. His ever evolving ideas intend to amuse and entertain the thoughts of the viewer.
