A new piece of art work, which has appeared on the side of a building on Hornsey Road in Finsbury Park, London, is suspected of being by street artist Banksy.
Splattering of green paint appeared outside Finsbury Park block overnightNeighbours have expressed 'pride and delight' after Banksy confirmed he was behind a new tree mural on a block of flats in North London.
The street artist's announcement followed a morning of speculation surrounding the mural which appeared on a building in Finsbury Park overnight'Choosing the colours of our borough just makes it feel like a personal message to us residents.The artwork shows a splattering of green paint behind a bare tree to resemble foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a pressure hose depicted next to it.
Meanwhile Carolyn said: 'It's just lovely to see how this piece of art has brought everyone together.'It's brought the community together, which has been really nice to see.' 'It gives the idea that we could do with much more greenery everywhere and I think that's a really nice message.' He added: 'It's quite mad to be honest, to come down here and just to see all the crowds of people looking at the building.'I definitely plan on keeping it on there and letting people enjoy it, everyone's loving it which is great, I just can't really believe it still to be honest.''I was having a bit of a laugh with the girls who were saying I was gonna put the rent up 250 per cent but no no. I doubt it.
'How do you protect it, you know? It is on the side of a building, and it's such a big thing. It's not like his normal stuff where it's quite small. This is the whole size of the building.' One Banksy artwork that appeared in London in December - a traffic stop sign covered with three military drones - was stolen less than an hour after appearing on a street in Peckham.The stop sign drones resemble those on another artwork, Civilian Drone Strike, which depicted them destroying a house while a little girl and her dog watch on in horror - it was sold for £200,000Banksy, who has 12.3million followers on Instagram, always confirms an artwork is his by posting a picture of it.
Also suggested is public schoolboy Robin Gunningham, who was 'unmasked' as Banksy by the Mail On Sunday in 2008 after an investigation into his past.In 2021, his 'Love is in the Bin' work was bought for more than £18million, with its value having been boosted after a shredder hidden in its frame cut it to pieces moments after it was sold for the first time in 2018.
It was painted by the artist over three days in broad daylight and is still in the city today, among some of Banksy's other works.
