The elusive street artist Banksy appeared to confirm on Monday that a new mural in London, depicting two children lying down and pointing upwards to the sky, was his latest work.
The artist posted two photos of the work on his official Instagram account Monday, hours after it appeared on a building wall in Bayswater, west London, sparked speculation over whether Banksy was behind it.
The black-and-white mural, painted above a garage, depicts two figures dressed in winter hats and boots lying on the ground. One of them points a finger upwards.
An identical image appeared on Monday at the foot of a tower block in central London, but the graffiti artist did not publish this version on his account.
Banksy began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and became one of the world’s best-known artists. His paintings and installations sell for millions of dollars at auction and attract thieves and vandals.
Although his work often criticizes government policy on migration and war, the latest work does not appear to convey an overt political message.
In September, he made headlines with a mural showing a judge holding a gavel over an unarmed protester holding a blood-splattered sign.
This piece, which appeared on an exterior wall of a building of the Royal Court of Justice, was quickly hidden. Officials said it had to be removed because of the building’s historical significance.
