Banksy's artwork, which was unveiled Monday, provides a burst of green foliage to a denuded, severely pruned tree in Islington North. By Wednesday, the mural was partly covered in white paint.
On Wednesday, people looked at a Banksy mural in London which has been defaced with white paint. The artwork first appeared overnight on Sunday and was confirmed to be Banksy's work on Monday.A recently unveiled mural by the street artist Banksy has been vandalized, just two days after its initial appearance.
The green, dripped paint on the Banksy mural suggests tree foliage, while at the lower left side a stencil of a person holding a paint sprayer gazes upwards, seemingly toward the tree. Local observers have noted that the green paint in the Banksy mural replicates the color of local street signs posted by Islington Council.A new Banksy artwork near Finsbury Park in north London shows a stencil of a person having spray painted tree foliage onto a wall behind a leafless tree.
The mural appears to have gone up on Sunday; on Monday, Banksy posted before-and-after images of the tree and the wall. The building's owner toldFor this piece, the tree itself is integral to the mural's design and meaning — and therefore perhaps harder, and less attractive, to steal. The last art known to have been created by Banksy — a stop sign with three military drones flying across it, which was widely interpreted as an anti-war piece —from its location in south London in December within hours of it being unveiled and confirmed as an authentic Banksy work. Two men were arrested for that theft, but are currentlyat a Sotheby's auction in 2021— three years after it had been partially shredded, on purpose, just after its sale for $1.
