"The sculpture depicts a man marching forward off a plinth while carrying a large, billowing flag that obscures his face. The statue is situated in Waterloo Place in the St James's area of Westminster."
"Though he is best known for his graffiti, Banksy has made statues before, including one named The Drinker, which he installed on Shaftesbury Avenue in London's West End in 2004."
"Banksy's most recent confirmed work in London came in December when he said he was behind a mural that showed two children lying down and looking at the sky, seemingly pointing at the Centrepoint Tower."
"The news organisation Reuters recently claimed to have unmasked the artist as Bristol-based Robin Gunningham, apparently confirming the findings of a similar investigation conducted by the Daily Mail in 2008."
A new statue in central London features Banksy's signature, but the artist has not confirmed if it is his work. The statue depicts a man with a flag obscuring his face and is located in Waterloo Place. Banksy has previously created statues, including The Drinker in 2004. His last confirmed work was a mural addressing homelessness in December. Recent reports suggest that Banksy may be Bristol-based Robin Gunningham, a claim supported by earlier investigations.
