Banksy has confirmed that a new mural that recently appeared on the side of a building in London is his.
The artwork painted behind a mature tree trimmed to look like foliage, with a stencil of a person holding a pressure hose next to it which you can see below, appeared on Finsbury Park’s Hornsey Road yesterday (March 17).
The elusive artist did not confirm the artwork was his initially, but James Peak, who created the BBC Radio 4 series The Banksy Storysaid yes.
He told BBC News: “In my opinion it looks like a dead certificate. But as always with Banksy, you never quite know until she confesses and posts it on her website.”
Now, Banksy has confirmed that he was responsible for the mural on Instagram after posting an image of the tree before painting the artwork.
And he added: “What the hell did they do to that poor tree?”
Banksy should reveal his identity because of a lawsuit
Last year, Banksy unveiled a new anti-war artwork in Peckham, south London, featuring a road sign reading “STOP” adorned with warplanes, which later resulted in the arrest of two men for the apparent theft of the artwork.
Banksy also created seven new murals in various locations in Ukraine, which had been severely affected by the Russian invasion.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that The elusive artist could be forced to reveal his real name if a legal dispute over the authenticity of one of his prints ends up in court.
Two art collectors are taking legal action against the artist’s secretive company, Pest Control, alleging that the organization has refused to confirm the authenticity of the Monkey Queen piece, in which a bejeweled primate wears a royal crown on a red background. White and blue.
Nicky Katz and Ray Howse say they have sought Pest Control for three years to secure official confirmation that the piece was made by Banksy, without which its value would be substantially undermined.
If the dispute went to court, the artist could be forced to reveal his true identity.
