Faile’s vibrant, bold mural on the corner of the Bowery and Houston Street, installed in late October, continues to capture passersby daily. A few blocks south at Opera Gallery NY, some of their small work – ranging from simple portraits to riveting collages — can be seen in the group exhibit Making Faces through February 19th.

For the past several years, the huge wall on Manhattan’s Bowery and Houston Street has served as a canvas for some of the globe’s most expressive street art. Featuring the work of a diverse range of artists from the hugely talented Brazilian twins Os Gemeos to Brooklyn’s famed Faile duo, it entices and engages passersby daily. Here are a few highlights of the past two years:
