This artist is known for painting many of his favorite artworks in various places, leading many to speculate whether it is vandalism or a real work of art. Banksy is a mysterious figure, and his murals sometimes become priceless works of art. But is it possible to do this everywhere you go? Probably not.
This time, his target is the Royal Courts of Justice in London, and it depicts a judge hitting a protester with his gavel. A mural claimed by Banksy has appeared on the Queen’s Building facade on September 8.
The image, streaked with red paint for added drama, was quickly hidden under black plastic and fenced off with metal barriers, while security patrols and CCTV cameras monitored what had already become a lightning rod for debate.
While the mural does not reference a particular cause or incident, its appearance comes two days after almost 900 people were arrested at a London protest against the ban on Palestine Action.
By afternoon, officials had already scrubbed the work down, but before that, photos of the mural began to appear on social media. The elusive artist later confirmed his involvement, sharing the work on Instagram, as he often does.
