"The artwork depicts a suited man carrying a large flag which covers his face, blinding him as he steps forward halfway off of the plinth."
"The colouration of the statue and its plinth reflect the bronze and granite monuments nearby on the plaza-like road, including the Duke of York Column and the Guards Crimean War memorial."
"The statue at Waterloo Place has yet to be posted, and therefore authenticated, on Banksy's official Instagram, although it has reportedly already drawn crowds."
A new statue attributed to Banksy has emerged on Waterloo Place in central London, depicting a suited man with a flag covering his face. The statue's design mirrors the bronze and granite monuments in the area. The statue was first reported on April 29 and has attracted attention, although its installation details remain unclear. Banksy has been increasingly active in London, with previous works including stencilled animal silhouettes and a controversial mural at the Royal Courts of Justice. The statue has not yet been authenticated on Banksy's Instagram account.
