The pieces can be found in Chelsea and Richmond.
The world-famous graffiti artist Banksy has been painting towns for decades. Now, new artworks have appeared in Chelsea and Richmond in London. If you want to check them out, here’s where you need to go.
The Chelsea artwork is located on the side of a house in Edith Terrace. The piece shows two elephants poking their heads out of blocked-out windows. The Richmond artwork is located on Kew Bridge. The piece shows a goat on top of a ledge with rocks, and a CCTV camera pointing at the animal.
On Instagram, Banksy posted the two photos without any captions, and the images have now hit the headlines. Spectators are left to speculate about the meaning behind the images.
Banksy hails from Bristol, United Kingdom. He aims to keep his identity a secret, and let his art do the talking. He is famous for his street art, which is often loaded with political messages. In the 1990s, his work started appearing on the streets of Bristol and later in London.
Banksy has held exhibitions around the world, from London to Los Angeles. If you’d like to learn more about the artist, head to The Art of Banksy. The exhibition has toured the world including Auckland, Boston, Dubai and Washington DC. More than one million visitors have seen the exhibition, and it can currently be found in Soho.
The Art of Banksy in London brings together more than 150 pieces of Banksy’s work, including canvases, prints, and work displayed for the first time.
