"Elusive street artist Banksy appeared to confirm Monday that a new mural in London, depicting two children lying down and pointing up at the sky, is his latest work. The artist posted two photos of the artwork on his official Instagram account Monday, hours after its appearance on a wall on the side of a building in Bayswater, west London sparked speculation over whether Banksy was behind it."
"The black and white mural, painted above a garage, depicts two figures dressed in winter hats and boots lying on the ground, with one of them pointing a finger upwards. An identical image appeared at the foot of a tower in central London on Monday, but the graffiti artist did not post that version on his account. Banksy began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists."
Banksy posted two photographs on his official Instagram account that correspond to a new mural in Bayswater, west London. The black-and-white image, painted above a garage, shows two figures in winter hats and boots lying on the ground while one points a finger upwards. An identical image also appeared near a central London tower but was not posted by the artist. Banksy began by spray-painting buildings in Bristol and has become internationally known; his works sell for millions and draw thieves and vandals. The latest piece lacked an overt political message. In September, a judge mural was covered and removed for historical-significance reasons. The extended deadline for Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Awards is Friday, December 19, at 11:59 p.m. PT.
