Over the last couple of weeks London has been treated to a a series of new pieces from Brazilian Street Artists Bailon & Sliks who were over in London for their pop-up exhibition ‘Naturally Unstable’ exhibition in Shoreditch (covered here). Whilst they were over the duo laid out some three works, two large scale collaborations, with othe first being additionally created alongside fellow Brazilian artist Cranio, and the second with Australian, but London based artist Jimmy C. For the finale the duo laid out two individual works alongside each other in Hackney Wick and Bailon laid out a further collaboration with the most suitable Louis Masai.

This work is amazing, offering a superb blending of styles from the three respective artists. With Sliks’s abstract styling used to make the creature on the far left offering the apple, Bailon’s more painterly approach to his distinct birds as subject and Jimmy C’s ‘Aerosol-Pointillism’ for the scenery.

Excellent blend of styles here from Bailon & Louis Masai, who both focus on animals as their key subject matter, on this occassion with a painting of a Spix Macaw, a species native to Bailon’s home of Brazil and an endangered species, which Louis Masai is passionate in drawing awareness to through his art.

This duo have certainly maximized their time here, with these works all put up in some five days, really leaving their mark on London’s Street Art scene. We look forward to seeing these two return in the future and are more than satisfied with what they have left in their wake.
