Elusive artist Banksy has apparently confirmed the creation of a new mural in London, featuring two children lying down and pointing upwards. The piece surfaced on a wall in Bayswater, west London, leading to speculation about Banksy’s involvement before he posted photos of the artwork on his official Instagram account.
The black and white mural above a garage portrays two figures in winter attire, one pointing upwards. A similar image was also spotted at the base of a tower in central London on the same day, although Banksy did not share that version on social media.
Originally known for graffiti in Bristol, England, Banksy has risen to global fame as an artist whose works command high prices at auctions. While his pieces often critique government policies, this latest creation does not appear to convey a strong political message.
In a separate incident in September, Banksy made headlines with a mural depicting a judge with a gavel above an unarmed protester carrying a blood-stained sign. The artwork, situated on a Royal Courts of Justice building, was swiftly obscured due to the site’s historical importance.
