Banksy revealed a new work, but its placement is a mystery
Last time Banksy revealed his work in December.
London. British street art artist Banksy, whose identity remains hidden, revealed a new work. He informed about it on Thursday on the Instagram social network.
The photos on Instagram show a lighthouse on the gray-beige wall along with the words: « I want to be what you considered me ».
It seems that a false shade from a nearby curb has been drawn on the pavement, creating an illusion that the lighthouse is itself a shadow of a everyday street device.
Speculations of Internet debaters suggest that Banksy’s lighthouse could be located in Marseille in the south of France. The post itself reveals little about the location of the work of art.
The second picture captures two people when walking dogs and offers a wider shot, which reveals more about the location of the work.
British street art artist Banksy has kept his true identity secret throughout his career, and only thanks to the official Instagram account can his works be identified as genuine.
His graffiti often intervene political references, Banksy’s previous work referred to migration, among other things, War in Ukraine and homelessness.
Last time Banksy revealed its streetart in December, it was a Madonna with a child in his arms, whose chest passes the fastening in the wall reminiscent of a gunshot wound.
Banksy, whose graffiti in the early 1990s first appeared on the walls of Bristol, is one of the most prominent contemporary artists. He prides himself on anonymity, but his works are regularly sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He left his creations alongside Britain, for example, on the Walls in the United States or in Palestinian Gaza band. The media often describes it as an elusive and mysterious or guerilla street artist.
