Banksy has brought to London a wave of animal-themed artwork, addressing a variety of themes, including technology and nature, while ultimately aiming to lift spirits.
The recent pieces feature animals in stunning and playful ways, such as a goat atop a wall and elephants reaching across brick, with a focus on simply bringing joy.
The Pest Control Office indicated that much of the theorizing about Banksy’s intent may be overthinking his art, which primarily seeks to brighten public mood.
Art can serve as a respite from harsh realities; Banksy’s latest creations, including a gorilla helping a seal escape, hint at a playful yet serious commentary.
