In the event that it is confirmed, it would be the seventh piece of artwork by Banksy that has been revealed this week on a variety of sites throughout London. According to reports, the artist who prefers anonymity is attempting to cheer up the British people at a time when bad news dominates the media.
There has been speculation that a recently discovered piece of art in London may be another Banksy creation.
The artwork, which shows a school of swimming fish, is different from the artist’s well-known silhouette works, and the artist has not yet claimed it.
The City of London police box was the location where it was displayed.
This would be his sixth piece of artwork to be displayed this week at a variety of sites across the nation’s capital, if it were to be confirmed.
Some of the animals that have appeared in recent artwork include a goat, elephants, monkeys, wolves, pelicans, and cats.
On Saturday, a portion of a cat that was stretched out on an empty and distressed advertising billboard was removed from its site in northwest London. This occurred some hours after the image was made public.Earlier in the day, another mural was painted on the ceiling of a fish and chip store located in the northeastern part of the capital.
A silhouette of two pelicans, one of which was devouring a fish, was drawn over the Bonners Fish Bar in Walthamstow. The picture itself was a silhouette.
At a time when the news has been gloomy, with articles on massive unrest across England, the new series of work by the mysterious artist is reportedly intended to cheer up the public. This is according to the Guardian.
The majority of the time, Banksy waits many months between each of his artworks, and he confirms them shortly after they are posted on social media.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding the significance behind the animals, and he has not labelled any of the photographs that he has published on Instagram, which adds to the mystery. Because he has uploaded one every day so far this week, there has been a lot of mystery around the critters.
He made waves in June when he produced an installation depicting a migrant boat floating above the crowd at Glastonbury. The installation was displayed during performances by Idles and Little Simz at the festival.
He discovered another piece of art that he had vandalised in March after seeing it on the side of a building of apartments in north London, close to Finsbury Park.
